Liverpool lost this exact fixture 1-0 last season, the only league game in which they failed to score all season. They’ve not lost consecutive home league games against Nottingham Forest since 1963.

Nottingham Forest won 1-0 away and drew 1-1 at home against Liverpool in the Premier League last season – they’ve not gone three league games without defeat against the Reds since February 1993.

Nottingham Forest have lost their last six Premier League away games against the reigning champions by an aggregate score of 24-2. Their last such victory was in December 1994 (2-1 vs Manchester United).

Although Liverpool have lost five of their last six Premier League games (W1), they have won four of their five at Anfield in 2025-26 so far (L1). Indeed, the Reds have only lost one of their last 22 home league games (W17 D4) since losing 0-1 to Nottingham Forest in September 2024.

Nottingham Forest are one of four sides yet to win away from home in the Premier League this season (also Fulham, Newcastle, Wolves). The Tricky Trees have lost both of their last two away league games without scoring, last losing three in a row without a goal in October 2022.

Liverpool are currently 8th in the Premier League table. It’s the latest into a season they’ve started a match this low down since April 2023, when they won 3-2 at home to Nottingham Forest when starting the day in 8th place.

Liverpool have lost five of their last six Premier League games (W1), more than they lost in the whole of their title-winning campaign last season (4). Indeed, before this run, the Reds had only lost five of their previous 49 league fixtures (W33 D11).

Nottingham Forest have scored as many goals in their three Premier League games under Sean Dyche (5) as they had in their first eight of the season under Nuno Espírito Santo (4 goals) and Ange Postecoglou (1 goal) beforehand. Indeed, Forest are averaging more shots-per-game (13.0) and xG-per-game (1.6) under Dyche than they were under either of his predecessors in 2025-26.

This is set to be Mohamed Salah’s 300th Premier League appearance for Liverpool, the fifth player to reach that figure for the Reds, after Jamie Carragher (508), Steven Gerrard (504), Jordan Henderson (360), and Sami Hyypiä (318). Salah’s 276 goal involvements (188 goals, 88 assists) for Liverpool are the joint-most by a player for a single Premier League club (level with Wayne Rooney for Man Utd).

Morgan Gibbs-White has scored in both of Nottingham Forest’s last two Premier League games and could score in three successive league appearances for the first time in his career. He is one goal away from becoming the fourth player to score 20+ Premier League goals for the Tricky Trees, after Chris Wood (37), Bryan Roy (24), and Stan Collymore (22).
