As he prepares for a return to Anfield, Neco Williams has been backed to come through an up and down season for Nottingham Forest.
The 22-year-old has had peaks and troughs in his form, and has also been in and out of the team as the Reds battle for survival. Head coach Steve Cooper, though, is pleased with the progress Williams has made and is confident his fellow Welshman will be able to build on it.
With Serge Aurier sidelined due to injury, the defender has had a run in the side of late. And that is likely to put him in line to face his former club on Saturday, having joined Forest from Liverpool last summer in a £17 million deal.
