That result could prove pivotal in the race for a top-five finish, and Arne Slot’s side will now look to build momentum with back-to-back league wins on the road for the first time since September.
Standing in their way is a rejuvenated Nottingham Forest side under new boss Vítor Pereira, who made an immediate statement by guiding Forest to a 3-0 win away at Fenerbahçe in the Europa League play-offs.
Forest did win 3-0 at Anfield in November and are unbeaten in their last three league meetings with Liverpool (W2 D1), though the Reds remain favourites on paper.

Florian Wirtz to register 1+ shot on target
Florian Wirtz has been one of Liverpool’s most consistent attacking threats this season. The German has recorded 2+ shots in seven of his last 10 Premier League appearances, registering at least one shot on target in seven of those matches.
Given Liverpool’s attacking structure and Forest’s willingness to play expansively under Pereira this game should produce opportunities at both ends.
With Liverpool averaging strong attacking numbers and Forest conceding regularly from open play and set-pieces, Wirtz looks well placed to test the goalkeeper at least once. At 21/20, this carries strong value based on recent data.
Tip: Florian Wirtz to register 1+ shot on target @21/20
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Florian Wirtz plays at least one shot on target.
Over 1.5 goals
Liverpool’s matches have rarely lacked action. Since their goalless draw against Arsenal in January, the Reds have scored at least one goal in each of their nine games in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Forest have been unpredictable, with two of their last five league matches ending 0-0, but Pereira’s first game in charge showed clear attacking intent. Forest fired off 23 shots in Turkey in what was a bold, attacking display, and Pereira will now take charge of his first Premier League game at the City Ground, aiming to maintain that intensity.
Historically, Liverpool’s away fixtures have produced goals, and with Forest scoring three in midweek and Liverpool fresh from a vital road win, backing over 1.5 goals at 11/50 looks a solid foundational pick.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least two goals scored in the game between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
Over 8 corners
Corner markets are particularly appealing here. Liverpool’s recent five matches have averaged over 13 corners per game (67 total), with the lowest single-game total being nine.
Their high-pressing style, combined with Forest’s aggressive attacking transitions, suggests another high-tempo encounter.
With Forest also attacking through wide areas, it should contribute further to attacking phases and set-piece opportunities, making over 8 corners an appealing option at 2/5.
Tip: Over 8 corners @ 2/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are more than eight corners in the game between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
