Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Preview

 

Nottingham Forest welcome Liverpool to the City Ground on Sunday afternoon, with kick-off at 14:00 GMT in what is a mouthwatering Premier League contest. Forest arrive into this fixture on the back of a positive result, their most recent outing a 3-0 away victory at Fenerbahce in Europe on February 19th. Prior to that, the Tricky Trees drew 0-0 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league, with an earlier 3-1 defeat away at Leeds United also in this five-game sequence. A 1-1 home draw with Crystal Palace also features. Forest have found goals hard to come by in the Premier League of late — 25 scored on the season and a goal difference of -13 — and their defensive record of 38 conceded underlines the challenge of facing one of the most clinical attacks in the division. The City Ground will nonetheless be a hostile and passionate environment, and Forest’s European form shows there is genuine quality in this squad.

Liverpool, by contrast, arrive in fine fettle having won four of their last five across all competitions. Their most recent outing was a 3-0 home win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup on February 14th. Prior to that, the Reds claimed a 1-0 away win at Sunderland in the Premier League, with earlier home victories over Newcastle United — 4-1 — and FK Qarabag — 6-0 — also in this run. A 1-2 home defeat to Manchester City on February 8th is the sole blot on an otherwise excellent sequence. Liverpool’s season numbers are outstanding: 41 goals scored, a goal difference of +6, 28 assists, and 35 conceded — and they will travel to Nottingham with plenty of confidence.

The head-to-head record over the last five meetings is evenly balanced, with each side winning twice and one draw between them. Notably, Forest have shown they are more than capable of causing Liverpool problems, winning 3-0 away at Anfield in November 2025 and also winning 1-0 away at Liverpool in September 2024. Liverpool’s wins in this spell include a 3-0 home victory in October 2023 and a 1-0 away win at the City Ground in March 2024, making this a genuinely open contest with no clear advantage for either side based on recent history.
