Sutton's predictions: Liverpool v Nottingham Forestpublished at 11:10 GMT 22 November
11:10 GMT 22 November
This is a hard one to call. Liverpool have lost seven of their past 10 matches, but could they be one of the teams who benefit from the international break?
Forest beat them at Anfield last season - I was there for Radio 5 Live - but that was under Nuno, and they are yet to win anywhere on the road in this campaign.
I don't see that changing this weekend, either. Sean Dyche has picked up some points at the City Ground since he took over as Forest boss at the end of October, but they are meek away from home and I don't see them keeping Liverpool out.
Liverpool have to click sooner or later, and if their attack gets going here then they could overpower my boyhood club.
Mo Salah needs to come to the fore for Arne Slot's side, and so does Alexander Isak.
For someone who forced his move to Liverpool through in the summer, Isak has done very little for his new club so far.
Liverpool v Nottingham Forest: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 19:11 GMT 21 November

Liverpool will be eager to get back on track when they host struggling Nottingham Forest this weekend. BBC Sport explores some of the key themes surrounding this match.
The title holders have lost five of their past six top-flight games, which is more defeats than they suffered in the entirety of last season, and only bottom side Wolves have a worse record in that time.
It is the most losses a reigning champion has endured at this stage of a Premier League campaign since Leicester City in 2016-17 and only three reigning champions have amassed fewer points from their opening 11 games than the Reds.
The last team to win an English top-flight title after collecting 18 points or fewer from their first 11 games were Everton in 1986-87, which, given they are neighbours, could be considered a good omen for Arne Slot's side.
Not all bad news for Liverpool
But it is not all doom and gloom for the Merseysiders. They are firmly on course for a top-eight finish in the Champions League and Anfield remains a stronghold.
Liverpool have won four of their five outings on home soil this term, losing the other, and that sole defeat by rivals Manchester United last month, painful as it was, is their only home loss in 22 league matches.
While the title might appear out of sight – with eight points the gap between them and Arsenal – they are just four points adrift of Manchester City in second.
Slot has said feels five defeats "is too many" and the "last thing we should think about now is the title race", but if any side can put a series of wins together, it is the current champions. It just has to start now.
Trees find it tricky away
Nottingham Forest are yet to win away this season in any competition, with a return of four draws and four defeats from their eight visits to opposition grounds.
However, despite that form, Forest can take heart from the fact they were the only team to win at Anfield in the Premier League last season. Their 1-0 victory in September 2024 was also the only top-flight match in which Liverpool failed to score.
Is Forest's attack starting to click?
The results have certainly improved during Sean Dyche's short tenure so far - he has picked up two wins, two draws and suffered just one defeat in his first five games.
Some notable attacking numbers have also increased and they have scored more goals, averaged more shots and have a higher expected goals total under Dyche than either of his predecessors, despite having fewer touches in the opposition box.
Attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is one of the players benefitting from the change of manager. "We had a bit of a chat with Morgan, nothing heavy," said Dyche in his pre-match press conference. "There was no breakthrough moment or anything like that – it was just about reminding him that he is a good player."
The 25-year-old has found the net in each of Forest's previous two Premier League games and he heads to Anfield vying to score in three successive league matches for the very first time.
Financial Fair Play rules in Premier League to change next seasonpublished at 18:10 GMT 21 November

The Premier League will from next season move to a new system of Financial Fair Play (FFP) based on squad costs.
The clubs met in London on Friday to vote on three possible methods of replacing Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) got 14 votes in favour and six against, which is the minimum number that is required to exact a rule change.
Overall squad costs from next season will have to be limited to 85% of a club's revenue, although teams competing in Europe will have to adhere to Uefa's maximum of 70%.
Squad costs comprise player and manager wages, transfer fees and agents' fees.
Rules around sustainability, which set out a club's financial spending plans over the medium and long term, were passed unanimously.
'A fascinating time to play Reds'published at 08:13 GMT 21 November

The Premier League returns on Saturday as Nottingham Forest travel to Liverpool in hope of another shock victory at Anfield like last season.
But there is no doubt it will be more challenging after Sean Dyche went in to Thursday's news conference with a hand-written injury list - an indication into just how many absentees Forest still have.
"It doesn't sound like any of them except Callum Hudson-Odoi are particularly close to a return," said Colin Fray on BBC Radio Nottingham's Shut Up And Show More Football podcast. "One or two are back on the grass but most of them are still working with the medical team.
"It looks like these injuries will drag on and Dyche is loathed to put any time scales on any of them.
"It is a bit of worry for Dyche that he has got fewer bodies to choose from, especially now the international break is out of the way because there was hope two or three might be back by now.
"It is a hectic period coming up as they play midweek for the next three weeks as well as at the weekends, so there is no rest-bite in the fixture list from now on.
"It was not really positive news."
Travelling to the reigning champions with a depleted squad does not sound like an easy feat but Forest fans can take some hope from the fact Liverpool went into the international break in poor league form.
"It is a fascinating time to go and play them," added Fray. "It is hard to work out why it has gone wrong for them having spent a lot of money in the summer to strengthen a title winning team but it just has.
"Yet when they can't put a run together in the Premier League they can beat Real and Atletico Madrid in the Champions League at Anfield!
"If Alexander Isak is fit and plays then he will no doubt score because he always does against Forest and if we are to get anything from the game then we have to be as good as we were last season.
"Forest have got to do their best to make sure it is not on this day that Liverpool recover from their slump."
A pivotal moment for the Premier Leaguepublished at 17:11 GMT 20 November

One of potentially the biggest moments in English football is coming on Friday, but precious few people understand how important it could be or even know about it.
The Premier League is considering 'anchoring' wages, which would cap the amount any club could spend on their squad at five times the smallest central Premier League broadcasting and prize money payout.
It is a complex argument. The league and some clubs are considering it because they want to ensure wage inflation does not continue to rise endangering their long-term financial security. From the other side - the players and their union, the PFA - this unnaturally limits the amount they can earn in what has until now been a free and open market.
Any changes to that position foisted upon the players without their prior consultation and agreement will not go down well. Remember, the players are the people that the paying public, the TV companies and the advertisers want to see, not a bunch of chairmen, executives and directors arguing over accounts, dividends and profit margins.
The game has increased the number of games played per season without consulting those who are physically doing it. No studies on how that will affect their health in the short and long term were considered, and so the PFA in England looks like it is finally ready to take a strong stand for its members.
Strike ballots are not unknown, I should know, as chairman of the PFA my name was on the bottom of every ballot paper when we last considered strike action over changes in working conditions. The modern owners may have forgotten, but we had 99% backing from our members.
Owners may think of footballers as ultra wealthy, mercenary, thickos who can easily be controlled - well they thought that last time and they lost.
It is time for serious and meaningful negotiation between equals and not a master and serf attitude from one side towards the other.
Dyche on injuries, building 'positive' feeling and Anderson's ceilingpublished at 15:59 GMT 20 November

Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Liverpool at Anfield (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is "making good progress" and is "in consideration" for the squad on Saturday. Meanwhile, forward Chris Wood is being rescanned but it is "good news so far", and Douglas Luiz is making progress so it will be "a matter of time but not instant".
Dyche added that Wood's knee injury is "nothing too serious" and this is just a "settling period" for it.
Dilane Bakwa, Ola Aina and Oleksandr Zinchenko are "making progress" but are still with the sports science and physios side of their recovery.
The Forest boss said they will not know the impact of the win over Leeds United and subsequent international break "until the whistle blows", but "a break was needed" to give themselves more time with the players and for those injured to miss fewer games.
He added: "We're building a feeling among the group that we think is positive. There were good signs after the Leeds game of that feeling, not just with a performance and result, but also the connection that you get after the game and that good feeling in the camp and around the club."
On what midfielder Elliott Anderson's ceiling is: "He is a good player. He's got everything in front of him and I've spoke to him about what I call the nuts and bolts of his performances, but not at any length - less is more, I think, for him. He's naturally going about his business the right way, he's learning the game as he goes, so input is over coaching someone and you've got to be careful with that."
Asked whether they can take confidence from winning at Anfield last season and good results he has had with previous sides, Dyche responded: "You want a team and yourself to be confident wherever you go. You can't guarantee these things but I think we've got a team that can compete. That's a big thing. We want to be competitive in every game. We're beginning to build that mentality."
Dyche said the club "has shown they're willing to invest when they need to" as the winter transfer window approaches, adding: "But it's a constant thing, looking at players' availability, the shifting sands of football. Who is moving where? Who is doing what? That's football, not just Nottingham Forest. Sometimes you sit tight because that is what the market says you can't [do]."
