Forest getting into Liverpool early and the crowd are already on the visitors’ backs.

It’s a cracking atmosphere in Nottingham.

Neat work around the edge of the Forest box and Mac Allister shoots from 25 yards but the brick wall that is Milenkovic blocks it.

Arne Slot explains the challenge that Liverpool face tonight

“I expect the atmosphere to be fired up from the start so it makes it even more important to not let them get going any more,” Liverpool boss Arne Slot said yesterday, lavishing praise on his opponents.

“They are a team that hardly concede goals.

Nuno has done a great job at implementing a style of play that suits the players.”

Ryan Yates urges Forest fans to bring atmosphere against leaders Liverpool

Captain Ryan Yates has called on Nottingham Forest’s fans to bring the atmosphere in tonight’s crunch Premier League clash with the league leaders.

Forest welcome Arne Slot’s side to the City Ground for a game which could determine whether they really are in a surprise title race.

Six wins on the bounce have catapulted them to within six points of Liverpool and a win would undoubtedly make them challengers.

Jurgen Klopp hopes Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold sign new Liverpool deals

Forward Salah and defenders Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold are all currently on contracts that will run out this summer.

Klopp, who stepped down as Reds manager at the end of last season and is now Red Bull’s head of global soccer, told a press conference in Salzburg on Tuesday: “He (Salah) is the biggest striker Liverpool had in modern times.

“Fantastic player, fantastic human being, outstanding athlete, best ambassador (Egypt) could have.

They didn’t tell me.”

Why Arne Slot now views Nottingham Forest defeat differently

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot now views their only Premier League defeat of the season differently having seen how Nottingham Forest have defied expectations.

At the time, the 1-0 loss in September was considered a major shock as a team who finished 17th last season registered their first win at Anfield since 1969.

However, four months on and Nuno Espirito Santo’s Forest are level on points with second-placed Arsenal, having won more matches than any other team except leaders Liverpool.

“For us to lose on that day was, for me, hard to take,” said Slot ahead of Tuesday’s trip to the City Ground.

“Now, looking back at it and seeing where they are in the league, it has not been such a shock result as I thought it was back then.”
