Liverpool return to Anfield on Saturday when they welcome Nottingham Forest in Premier League Matchweek 2.
The Reds began their campaign with an entertaining 2-2 draw against Newcastle, while Forest suffered a 1-0 defeat to Leeds.
Liverpool need their first win
Liverpool will be looking for their first Premier League victory of the campaign.
Andoni Iraola’s side twice came from behind against Newcastle before eventually securing a point through a late penalty.
Playing at Anfield should give Liverpool another advantage, but Forest are expected to make the contest difficult.
Forest under pressure
Forest have already experienced a disappointing start after losing at home to Leeds.
New manager Oliver Glasner will therefore be hoping for a reaction from his players.
The visitors could look to remain compact before attacking Liverpool on the counter.
New signing adds interest
Liam Delap’s move from Chelsea to Nottingham Forest has added another major talking point ahead of the fixture.
The striker arrives with expectations that he can provide Forest with greater attacking threat.
Prediction
Liverpool should have too much quality at home.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Nottingham Forest
Forest could find the net, but Liverpool’s attacking options should create enough opportunities for the hosts to take all three points.
SportNexus verdict: Liverpool to win.
