Liverpool battle Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this afternoon hoping to bolster their bid for European football next season.
Their huge 6-1 win away at Leeds on Monday night put Jurgen Klopp’s side six points off Aston Villa in sixth while also boasting a game in hand.
Though Liverpool’s strange season has been littered with inconsistency up until now, perhaps they are slowly working their way out of that extended funk.
They impressively fought back against Arsenal before putting six past Leeds and will fancy their chances against a Forest team seriously lacking in form up next at Anfield.
Steve Cooper’s relegation-threatened side look in free fall at the moment after a 10-match winless run and have been so poor away from home all season that winning on Merseyside would be a huge shock. Here’s everything you need to know about today’s game.
