Nottingham Forest vs. Liverpool Head-to-Head

Liverpool have a poor record on the road against Nottingham Forest, winning just one of their last 15 at the City Ground. The Tricky Trees have avoided defeat in their last three EPL fixtures against the Reds.

Game Preview

A fourth different manager has been appointed by Nottingham Forest, as the Tricky Trees bid to secure their Premier League status. Forest sit just three points clear of the drop zone after losing 13 of their 26 EPL fixtures in 2025-26.

However, huge confidence would have been taken from their first match under Vitor Pereira in midweek, with the Tricky Trees landing a dominant 3-0 away win against Fenerbahce on Thursday.

Despite their low standing in the EPL, Forest have been tricky to beat at the City Ground since the turn of the year, playing out draws in each of their last three. A big worry is their attacking output, as Forest have failed to score in the second-most games in 2025-26.

Champions League qualification is the minimum expectation of Arne Slot’s Liverpool after falling short in their primary aim to retain the Premier League title.

Despite a big-spending summer, it has taken effectively half of the season for the Dutchman to gel his squad, but the performances of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike in recent weeks are major positives.

Liverpool come into this weekend after winning their last two competitive fixtures without conceding. However, their form on the road has been a worry throughout the campaign, having won just three of their eleven matches.

Nottingham Forest vs. Liverpool Picks

The fact that Liverpool have found victories on the road hard to come by can’t be overlooked this weekend. Therefore, we could foresee the Tricky Trees upsetting the odds to extend their positive record against the Reds and maintain Pereira’s excellent start to life at the City Ground.
