Liverpool's start to 2025 has been far from ideal as they prepare to face third-placed Nottingham Forest, who have the chance to close the gap to just three poi

Liverpool take on Nottingham Forest later today, so we simulated the Premier League game to predict the final score.

The 2024-25 Premier League season has seen a number of ingenious tactical tweaks, here are five that have made a difference for some top clubs.

The two definite Liverpool absentees against Forest are Darwin Nunez and Joe Gomez. The former is suspended after picking up five yellow cards and the latest on the defender is he is "quite far" away from fitness, as revealed by Slot in the pre-match press conference.

You have got to earn the right to win the Premier League, and Liverpool have done brilliantly so far. When you are in a title race, there are always moments in the season where things can go against you a little bit, like they did against United, but they did not lose.

Forest are the only team to have beaten Liverpool in the league this season, having won 1-0 at Anfield in September thanks to a second-half goal from Callum Hudson-Odoi

Red-hot Nottingham Forest host Liverpool in a meeting of two of the top teams in the table, and two of the hottest teams.
