Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool F.C. Stats Ahead Of Tuesday’s 8pm Premier League Clash
Not many people would have expected Nottingham Forest to be third 20 games into the Premier League season.
Yet, on Tuesday night, Nottingham Forest could well be in the title fight if they beat league leaders Liverpool at the City Ground.
They are the only side to beat Liverpool in the Premier League this season. If they do so again, there would be just three points separating the two sides – albeit, Arne Slot’s side hold a game in hand.
Liverpool arrive into the game on the back of a draw with Manchester United and a loss to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup. More dropped points on Tuesday night and suggestions of a slump for Slot’s side will be rife.
Liverpool Expected To Halt Nottingham Forest’s Unbeaten Run
Liverpool are expected to get revenge for their loss to Nottingham Forest earlier this season, according to the best football betting sites in the UK.
At the time of writing with odds subject to change, Liverpool are 13/20 favourites to win, with a Nottingham Forest victory at 17/4 and a draw at 31/10.
When it comes to Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool F.C., recent form and stats would suggest Nuno Espirito Santo’s side could cause another upset against the Reds on Tuesday night.

Nottingham Forest Looking To Complete Double Over Liverpool
Arne Slot suffered his only Premier League defeat to date when his side hosted Nottingham Forest back in September.
Callum Hudson-Odoi scored the only goal to give Forest their first win at Anfield since 1969.
At the time people questioned whether this defeat showed Liverpool weren’t up to the task of a title fight this season.
Since then though, they have been imperious at the top of the Premier League and the loss was an early sign that Forest would be a threat for the top-flight elite this season.

Liverpool’s Miserable Run At Forest Before Last Season
Liverpool ended a 13-game winless run at Nottingham Forest last season.
It was a victory that sparked some controversy about the amount of stoppage time as Darwin Nunez netted the only goal in the 99th minute.
Before that, their last victory away at Forest in the league was a 2-0 triumph in 1984 with goals from Ronnie Whelan and Ian Rush.
Forest arrive into the game on the back of great form with six consecutive league wins. If they make it seven, it will be their joint-longest winning run in the club’s history.
