Liverpool
- Liverpool are eighth in the Premier League table with 18 points from 11 games, while Nottingham Forest are 19th with 9 points from the same number of matches. Our Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest betting tips suggest that Liverpool's home advantage could play a key role in this fixture.
- Liverpool have won two of their last three home games against Nottingham Forest, and lost just one of their five home games in the Premier League 2025/2026.
- Liverpool have conceded 5 and scored 10 goals in their five Premier League home matches this season.
- Their home form, however, remains solid, with 2 wins and 1 loss from the last 3.
- The Reds’ new boss Arne Slot, who has a possession-based system with fluid positional play and a patient build-up that allows his team to trap opponents with tactical pressing, will see his tactical acumen put to the test against Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche on Saturday.
- The visitors are likely to sit deep and try and frustrate Liverpool, who are a clinical side with some excellent attacking players who relish playing in Slot’s system.
Nottingham Forest
- Nottingham Forest are winless in their last two away games, drawing two and losing three in the Premier League 2025/2026 away from home, scoring just two goals. This Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest betting tips preview takes those struggles into account.
- Nottingham Forest have been in marginally better form than their opponents this season, with two wins, two draws and a defeat from their last five, including a 3-1 win over Leeds United in the Premier League.
- Since taking charge in October 2025, Dyche has been taking Forest back to basics, getting the team to be a lot more compact in a low block, and more reliant on direct football.
Head-to-Head
The two sides are almost equal in the head-to-head record with one win each and a draw in their last 3 meetings. For the best analysis, our Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest prediction takes this closely fought history into consideration.
