Just three days after their Europa League match, Liverpool are preparing to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League at Anfield on Sunday. They aim to close the gap on the league leaders, Tottenham Hotspur.
Although the Reds may not be as dominant as they were in previous PL seasons, they have had a promising start to this campaign.
The Merseyside club has gained momentum under Jurgen Klopp’s leadership after their recent win against Everton.
In their nine league matches so far, the English giants have won six, drawn two, and suffered just one defeat, which came at the hands of Tottenham.
With each game carrying significant importance in the top division of English football, it is crucial for Liverpool to secure a victory against Forest at their home turf.
This will help them maintain pressure on the teams above them in the league table and send a strong message that they are serious contenders in this season’s title race.
Liverpool are expected to field their strongest lineup against Forest, highlighting their priority for the Premier League this season.
The absence of Andy Robertson, who suffered a shoulder dislocation while playing for Scotland against Spain, is a significant setback for Liverpool.
Good news is that Caoimhin Kelleher is reportedly fully recovered from his injury just before the international break, and Cody Gakpo, who was confirmed by Klopp to be back in full training prior to the Toulouse match, is also making a return.
Curtis Jones is the only other player who won’t be available for selection, as he serves the final game of his suspension following a controversial red card against Tottenham earlier this month.
