Liverpool will visit the City Ground on Sunday afternoon, looking to improve their recent record at this location and continue their quest for a top-four finish.
The team has been performing well in knockout competitions, winning four of their last five matches. Manager Arne Slot guided the team to a convincing 3–0 FA Cup win against Brighton in their last game, following a crucial 1–0 away victory at Sunderland. However, Liverpool has struggled historically at Nottingham Forest, winning only one of their last 15 league away games against them. Their last win at the City Ground came in 2024, thanks to a late goal from Darwin Núñez.
Liverpool Team News
Arne Slot’s squad is still dealing with several long-term injuries. Jeremie Frimpong is out due to a muscle injury, and Wataru Endo will miss time as well. Ryan Gravenberch is likely to return to the starting lineup in midfield. Alexander Isak, Conor Bradley, and Giovanni Leoni are also unavailable. On a positive note, Joe Gomez is ready to start.
Alisson Becker will take his place in goal, backed by a defense featuring Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté. In midfield, Alexis Mac Allister will join Gravenberch, with Dominik Szoboszlai potentially providing additional defensive support. Mohamed Salah, who recently matched Steven Gerrard’s record for the most Premier League assists at the club (92), will lead the attack alongside Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo. It’s worth noting that Salah has yet to register a goal contribution at the City Ground in the Premier League.
