Steve Cooper told Nottingham Forest can repeat Brighton trick to 'nick something' off Liverpool

Nottingham Forest have been urged to strike the right balance between sitting back and going after Liverpool this weekend if they are to stand any chance of "nicking something".

Forest mustered just three shots - none of which were on target, against Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday night - but came away from the south coast with a second away point and first clean sheet on the road this season. Head coach Steve Cooper had goalkeeper Dean Henderson to thank in large part after the Manchester United loanee made seven saves to keep the Seagulls out.

Brighton are known to be notoriously profligate in front of goal, though; and the same can't be said of Jurgen Klopp's side, who have already scored nine and seven goals in single matches so far this season against Bournemouth and earlier this month against Rangers in the Champions League. Despite their slow start to the campaign, they are still the fourth-highest scorers in the Premier League, as it is their defence which has been costing them points.
