📋 Team News: Liverpool

Stefan Bajcetic (Hamstring injury), Florian Wirtz (Muscle injury) and Giovanni Leoni (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be able to feature for Liverpool gaffer Arne Slot.

We are thinking that The Reds will probably use the 4-2-3-1 formation and select Alisson Becker, Curtis Jones, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike.

🗞️ Team News: Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Douglas Luiz (Thigh problems) and Ola Aina (Hamstring injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

From our viewpoint, The Reds seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Matz Sels, Nicolo Savona, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo, Neco Williams, Ryan Yates, Elliot Anderson, Dan Ndoye, Morgan Gibbs-White, Nicolas Dominguez and Igor Jesus.

⚡ Prediction

It seems to us that Nottingham Forest could really find it hard to break down a Liverpool lineup who will more than likely win pretty easily here.

We’re tipping a comprehensive 3-0 winning margin for Liverpool at the end of the 90 minutes.
