The clash between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool on January 14, 2025, presents a compelling narrative within the Premier League context. Nottingham Forest currently occupies an impressive third place in the league standings, buoyed by a remarkable six-game winning streak . This unexpected success has positioned them as formidable challengers against Liverpool, who leads the league with a six-point buffer over Arsenal. The anticipation surrounding this match is heightened by Forest's previous victory over Liverpool at Anfield, indicating their potential to exploit weaknesses in their opponent's defense.
Revenge will be on Liverpool’s mind on Tuesday when the two best teams in the Premier League this season will square off in game week 21. Nottingham Forest remains the only team to have beaten Liverpool in the Premier League and Champions League combined this season. Considering how dominant the Reds have been the rest of the season, Forest’s Week 4 victory at Anfield looks that much more impressive.
It’s not like Liverpool needs that extra motivation. Nottingham Forest is only six points behind first-place Liverpool and another upset win would turn the Nottinghamshire side’s Cinderella story into a serious title challenge.
Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Anderson, Dominguez; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Diaz
In terms of predicted lineups, Nottingham Forest is expected to field a strategic formation aimed at leveraging quick counter-attacks. The anticipated starting eleven includes Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Dominguez and Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; and Wood . Conversely, Liverpool will be without Darwin Nunez due to suspension and Joe Gomez due to injury but welcomes back Ibrahima Konaté into the fold . Despite their offensive prowess this season, Liverpool has displayed defensive vulnerabilities recently that could be exploited by Forest’s attacking strategy.
