Chris Sutton believes there is a key aspect Nottingham Forest must improve on in order to challenge Liverpool in the lunchtime kick-off (12:30pm).
Jurgen Klopp's men will travel to the City Ground. Forest secured an encouraging point against Brighton & Hove Albion last time out, but have since fallen to the bottom of the table after Leicester City's win over Leeds.
Writing in his BBC Sport predictions column, Sutton said Forest must get the right balance "between defence and attack", predicting the visitors to come away with the win.

"Nottingham Forest only lost narrowly to Liverpool in last season's FA Cup but they obviously have a completely different team now, and they are struggling," he said. "Forest held out for a point at Brighton on Tuesday and got a clean sheet, which might give them a bit of confidence, but they offered very little in front of goal.
"They need to get the balance right between defence and attack and they badly need a victory, but it is hard to see them managing any of that against Liverpool. The Reds were far from great themselves against West Ham in midweek but, even if they are not at their best, I'd still expect them to win."
Sutton's prediction: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Liverpool.
