Liverpool are looking to secure their third consecutive win across all competitions as they face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday. The Reds are coming off an impressive 5-1 victory against Toulouse in the Europa League, while Forest threw away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 against Luton Town last weekend.

Liverpool‘s match against Toulouse was a thrilling encounter that showcased the team’s attacking prowess. Despite facing some pressure from their opponents, Liverpool‘s young goalkeeper Guillaume Restes couldn’t stop their relentless attacking force, with Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch all finding the back of the net. This win puts Liverpool on the brink of securing a spot in the last 16 of the Europa League and maintains their impressive home record, with seven successive wins at the start of the season.

In the Premier League, Liverpool sits in fourth place, just one point behind Manchester City and Arsenal. They have scored at least twice in each of their last four matches and have an unbeaten home run of 16 matches in the league. Nottingham Forest will be looking to end Liverpool‘s home dominance, and they have the advantage of having defeated them 1-0 at the City Ground just over a year ago.

However, Forest themselves have been struggling lately. They have gone five Premier League games without a win, drawing their last three matches. They currently sit in 15th place and need to start picking up points to avoid getting dragged into a relegation battle. Their two wins this season have come away from home against Chelsea and Southampton.

Both teams have some injury concerns for the match. Liverpool will be without Andy Robertson and Thiago Alcantara, who are recovering from injuries. Nottingham Forest will be missing Divock Origi, Felipe, Gonzalo Montiel, Danilo, and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

With Liverpool‘s attacking prowess and Forest’s recent struggles, Liverpool are expected to come out on top in this match. A 2-0 victory for Liverpool is predicted, although Forest will be determined to put up a fight and avoid a repeat of their collapse against Luton.

Sports Mole’s tipster partner, Sporita.com, predicts over 2.5 goals in the match.
