Liverpool’s predicted team to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

Liverpool prepare for their third game in just seven days when they travel to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday (12.30 BST).

The Reds head into the clash at the City Ground having finally started to build momentum following wins against Manchester City and West Ham United.

Now Jurgen Klopp will be eyeing a third successive victory to propel his side closer to the top four following a stuttering start.

Liverpool meet Forest in the league for the first time in 23 years.

Steve Cooper’s men languish bottom of the table but Klopp won’t be underestimating the Reds’ opponents.

Given Liverpool’s busy schedule, coupled with a clash against Ajax in the Champions League next week, rotation could be key.

The visitors will be without the likes of Ibrahima Konate and Naby Keita, while Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Arthur Melo are long-term absentees.

Darwin Nunez, who scored the only goal against West Ham, is also doubtful.

With all that in mind, here’s the Liverpool team we predict will face Forest.
