Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Preview
Recent results
Liverpool salvaged a 2-2 draw at Newcastle in their 2026-27 opener. Dominik Szoboszlai converted from the penalty spot deep into second-half stoppage time after Cody Gakpo had made it 1-1. The Reds drew their previous two Premier League matches at Anfield vs Brentford (1-1) and Chelsea (1-1), though that was under the leadership of Arne Slot.
Forest lost 1-0 to Leeds at the City Ground last Saturday, Anton Stach’s late free-kick proving to be the decisive moment in the match. The two sides met again on Tuesday in the EFL Cup second round, with the Whites getting the better of things once again courtesy of a 2-0 victory in Nottingham, Daniel James and James Justin grabbing the goals.
Head-to-head record
Interestingly, Forest won on each of their last two visits to Anfield.
A 1-0 success in 2024-25 was followed by the famous 3-0 triumph in November of last year.
The previous meeting between these sides at the City Ground saw Liverpool claim a 1-0 victory courtesy of a 97th-minute winner from Alexis Mac Allister.
Team news
Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni are all ruled out for Liverpool. Curtis Jones is also unavailable following his move to Inter Milan.
Forest’s fitness situation is pretty good. Nicolo Savona and Ryan Yates are the only two players set to be absent for the visitors.
Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Odds
*All odds are subject to change

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.67
Defensively, Liverpool look a bit of a mess at the moment. Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez are an unconvincing full-back pairing, while the lack of an out-and-out defensive midfielder is a concern. Combine those points with Iraola’s all-action playing style and you have to fancy Forest to join the hosts on the scoresheet. The BTTS market has landed in each of Liverpool’s last seven top-flight games, including the previous three at Anfield.
Liverpool to win and both teams to score – Yes @ 2.80
And if you want to increase the value of a BTTS-themed pick, combining it with the most likely outcome – a Liverpool victory – delivers some great value. Four of the Reds’ previous five wins at Anfield saw both teams find the back of the net.
Player to score or assist – Cody Gakpo @ 1.85
Gakpo looked sharp against Newcastle, and his goal was an absolute beauty. The Dutchman has four key contributions in his last eight Premier League appearances, and also tallied four goal involvements in as many matches at World Cup 2026. A forward in decent form up against a side still getting to grips with a new manager’s demands? Sounds like a great pre-match pick!
