Liverpool are seventh in the table with 16 points from 10 games, while Nottingham only have six points from 11 matches.
Liverpool will be looking to build on their hard-fought victory in midweek when they face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp’s side will kick-start the weekend action with a trip to Nottinghamshire. On paper, the Reds have to be the heavy favourites in the clash against the struggling hosts. After gaining promotion this season, Nottingham Forest have struggled to find any kind of consistency. A busy summer transfer window was not enough for them to steer clear of the bottom three spots. Their task only gets harder against a Liverpool side that seem to be finding their feet in recent games.Â
