Nottingham Forest travel to Anfield on Saturday looking to heap more misery on a struggling Liverpool side.
Sean Dyche’s men arrive at Anfield with renewed confidence today. This follows a vital 3-1 win over Leeds United in their last outing. That result broke a nine-match winless streak and showcased a new attacking verve under the manager.
Forest will be looking to replicate their success from last season, where they proved to be a bogey team for the Reds. However, they must overcome a dreadful away record against the reigning champions. In fact, they have lost their last six such matches heavily. Nevertheless, sitting 19th in the table, they know every point is crucial in their battle for survival.
Nottingham Forest team news
Dyche has confirmed that Callum Hudson-Odoi is the only injured player with a realistic chance of returning for this trip. The winger, who scored the winner in this fixture last season, has made good progress. After returning to training on the grass this week, he is now in contention for a place in the matchday squad.
However, Hudson-Odoi remains the exception in a lengthy injury list. Notably, Dyche even brought a written list of absentees to his press conference to highlight the scale of the crisis. Striker Chris Wood is undergoing a re-scan on his knee. While the check-up is routine, he remains unavailable for this weekend.
Additionally, Forest remain without Douglas Luiz (hamstring), Angus Gunn (knee), and Dilane Bakwa. All three are progressing but are not yet ready to rejoin full training. Finally, Oleksandr Zinchenko and long-term absentees Ola Aina and young goalkeeper Aaron Bott also remain sidelined. This leaves the squad significantly depleted for the tough trip to Anfield.
