The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Nottingham Forest lock horns with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side in an important clash at Anfield on Saturday.
Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Preview
Nottingham Forest are currently in 18th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best in recent weeks. The away side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate over the past month. The Merseyside giants thrashed Leeds United by a 6-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Liverpool have been in impressive form over the past week and were virtually unstoppable against Leeds United. Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez have managed to hit their stride this year and will look to add to their goal tallies in this fixture.
Nottingham Forest have struggled over the past month and are in desperate need of a turnaround. Liverpool are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
