Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest
After a solid start to the Premier League campaign, Forest have dropped off lately, winless in five games and just five points above the bottom three in 15th. Their form on the road has been a huge issue with just one league win away from the City Ground since early January, coming against Chelsea earlier this season.
Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest
The hosts went trophyless last term, but their start to this one has Reds fans dreaming again of a silverware-laden season having tasted defeat just once in their first 13 games of the campaign. They head into this one in fourth, but a win would move them three points behind leaders Tottenham.
