Liverpool Team News
Liverpool received bad news from the international week when Harvey Elliott broke a bone in his foot while serving with the England U21 national team. Even if it’s just a replacement, it’s not a good thing, especially when there is a queue of 5 games awaiting. Alexis Mac Allister, who is said to have a muscle injury, should be fit to man the midfield alongside Ryan Grafenberg. Other than that, there is no need to change the starting line-up, which joins Dominic Sobozlai, Luis Diaz, and striker Diogo Jota. New signing Federico Chiesa is unable to be selected for the Italian national team and will settle down and train fully before making his debut.
Nottingham Forest Team News
Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed that Ibrahima Sangaré and Willy Boly will have to assess their fitness after suffering injuries to the Ivory Coast. The team formation is ready to send James Ward-Prowse, the on-loan West Ham free-kick master, to make his debut in midfield alongside Elliott Anderson. Former Manchester United youngster Anthony Elanga will join the offensive line, along with Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and striker Chris Wood.
Expected Line-ups
Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Alisson Becker – Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson - Alexis MacAllister, Ryan Grafenberg – Mohamed Salah, Dominic Sobozlai, Luis Diaz - Diogo Jota
Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1): Matz Sales – Neco Williams, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo, Ola Aina – James Ward-Prowse, Elliot Anderson - Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi – Chris Wood
Match Predictions
As expected, the Reds should have won. It’s just that it’s hard to keep a 100 percent clean sheet when this Forest team has a ferocious attacking line that can find the back of the net in every game. Arne and his players may have to make a little effort before pushing the crowd.
Expected Result: Liverpool beat Nottingham Forest 3-1
