Liverpool v Nottingham Forest team news

Liverpool
Roberto Firmino joins Naby Keita and Stefan Bajcetic on the sidelines with Jurgen Klopp likely to keep faith with the team who beat Leeds 6-1.

Nottingham Forest
Forest have no fresh injury concerns but the game comes too soon for Serge Aurier and Ryan Yates with no one quite ready to leave a packed City Ground treatment room.

Liverpool v Nottingham Forest predictions

Nottingham Forest have hit the buffers at exactly the wrong time and a daunting list of remaining fixtures starts with a trip to Anfield just five days after Liverpool put six past Leeds.

While the Reds' season has been a poor one, most of their problems have come on the road, including a 1-0 loss in the reverse fixture at the City Ground.

Forest have put the shivers up a few on the banks of the Trent but they have been a soft touch on their travels, scoring just five away goals all season.

Liverpool have not looked as assured at the back this term but they may not have to be against Steve Cooper's visitors, who have a solitary away success against Southampton to show for their efforts.

The visitors have conceded at least twice in ten of their 15 road matches and lost their last five, so things for last season's Championship playoff winners could be about to get worse before they get better and it would be a surprise if they laid a glove on Jurgen Klopp's outfit.

Key stat

Liverpool have lost just one of their last 37 Premier League home games.

Probable teams

Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Jota

Nottingham Forest (3-4-1-2): Navas; Felipe, Niakhate, McKenna; Williams, Freuler, Danilo, Lodi; Gibbs-White; Johnson, Awoniyi
