LIVERPOOL go into the weekend three points outside the top four ahead of their trip to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool preview

It wasn’t a bad start for Vitor Pereira in the Nottingham Forest dugout in midweek – as Forest’s FOURTH manager of the season.

The new boss took the reins last week and left the Fenerbahce first leg tie with a terrific 3-0 away win.

Now they need to build on that with just three points separating them and West Ham in 18th, with the Hammers hitting a bit of form.

The goalless draw with Wolves was enough to see off Sean Dyche last weekend and they’ll be hoping for another new manager bounce as a result.

But it’s a tricky start to domestic business with Liverpool in town and a Reds side in decent form themselves.

A comfortable 3-0 win over Brighton in the FA Cup last weekend followed up a 1-0 win at Sunderland a few days before and they’re now within three points of Man Utd in fourth.

Their away record across the last five is two wins, two draws and a defeat so they’re not quite back at a trusted stage yet but will fancy their chances here.

Odds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.

Dom-inating

Dominik Szoboszlai is by far and away Liverpool’s best player at the minute. And most important.

Another goal last week against Brighton takes his record to four goals and two assists in the last six appearances for the Reds, despite moving between central midfield and right back.
