Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs Nottingham Forest as Arne Slot Chases Perfect Record

How Liverpool Have Lined-up Recently

Liverpool have lined up with a 4-2-3-1 under Arne Slot, a slight tweak to Jurgen Klopp’s 4-3-3. Alisson Becker starts in goal, with Andy Robertson at left-back and Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back. Ibrahima Konate has been Virgil van Dijk’s centre-back partner, despite Jarell Quansah starting the opening fixture.

Ryan Gravenberch joins Alexis Mac Allister in a double pivot, whilst Dominik Szoboszlai plays in a slightly more advanced role. Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah are the wide forwards, with Diogo Jota starting up front. The Portuguese has beat Darwin Nunez to a spot in the lineup despite the opposite happening for the most part of last season.

Liverpool’s Recent Form and Tactics

Liverpool join Manchester City as the only two teams to win their opening three games in the 2024/25 Premier League season. Furthermore, they are the only professional English side yet to concede a goal this season. Slot will be keen to chase this perfect record.

The Reds beat fierce rivals Manchester United 3-0 in their last match, thrilling fans as they ran Erik ten Hag’s side ragged. Diaz grabbed a brace whilst Salah assisted twice and found the back of the net. The Colombian now has four goal contributions this campaign, whilst his teammate has an impressive six. It does beg the question of how Federico Chiesa will break into the lineup.

Liverpool Injuries and Absentees to Consider Vs Nottingham Forest

Harvey Elliott has fractured his foot in the international break, whilst training with England’s U21s. He will be out for at least a month.

Curtis Jones was not in the squad against Brentford or the Red Devils due to a knock, but could return against Forest. Chiesa should be able to feature in the squad, after he missed the United game due to a lack of match fitness. Joe Gomez was absent from the season opener due to transfer speculation but has been on the bench for the past two matches.
