Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool prediction
Liverpool can take confidence from their 1-0 win over Sunderland last time out in the league and a similar test awaits on Sunday, facing a side likely to attempt to frustrate them for long periods.
Forest, playing at home for the first time under their new manager, will look to start fast but if Liverpool can weather the early storm then we expect them to leave the City Ground with all three points.
Liverpool to win, 2-1.
