A busy day in the Premier League on Sunday will see an interesting clash between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest take place at Anfield. The Reds will be looking for a second straight win as they bid to close in on the top spot in the league standings.
Before Betting On Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest
Liverpool could move to the top of the Premier League standings this weekend if they are able to land maximum points at home against Nottingham Forest. The Reds currently sit three points off the top of the standings after winning six of their first nine league matches this term. They bounced back to winning ways with a 2-0 success against Everton last weekend.
The pressure is gradually building on Steve Cooper at Nottingham Forest, as the East Midlands giants have gone five league matches without a victory. That run of form has seen Forest drop to 15th in the standings, and they are now just six points clear of the relegation places. However, a shock win on Sunday could see Forest end the weekend in tenth.
Liverpool have dominated the previous meetings between these sides at Anfield, as they have gone 24 without defeat at home against Forest. Over that period, they have recorded 19 wins, with just five ending in draws. Scoring hasn’t been an issue for the Reds in recent home showdowns against Forest, as they have netted 16 in the previous four.
Away sides have struggled when these sides have clashed, as there hasn’t been an away win in 12 previous encounters between the Reds and Forest in the Premier League. Forest have been held to three straight draws, and they will be looking to avoid four ties on the bounce for the first time since January 2016 this weekend.
