Key Highlights

Can Liverpool Make It Four Consecutive Wins in the League?

Liverpool have won three back-to-back matches in the Premier League as they have bolstered their position as league leaders.

Jurgen Klopp responded quickly from the 3-1 battering they suffered against Arsenal at the Emirates to beat Burnley 3-1 at home, Brentford 1-4 away from home, and Luton Town 4-1 at Anfield.

In the three consecutive wins, they have scored 11 goals and conceded three times, highlighting their cutting edge. They topped this run with a 0-1 win against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.

Can Nuno Espirito Santo Recapture Nottingham’s Consistency in the Premier League?

Nottingham Forest have won once in their last five outings as their form under Espirito Santo has dropped. They have drawn once and lost three times in this run.

Forest have picked up four points from the available 15 as they have dropped closer to the relegation zone.

They have 24 points, just four above the drop zone, and they cannot afford any more losses as pressure builds. 

The clash against Liverpool provides the perfect big-game opportunity for Espirito Santo and his charges to get a big three points and get a statement win against the league leaders.
