Premier League 2024-2025: Nottingham Forest-Liverpool, the likely lineups

Nottingham Forest-Liverpool, the probable formations
The City Ground is preparing to host one of the most anticipated challenges of the season as Nuno Espirito Santo’s surprising Nottingham Forest takes on Arne Slot’s leading Liverpool. The hosts, second in the standings on equal points with Arsenal, are dreaming big and aiming to repeat their September success at Anfield. On the other side, Liverpool, six points ahead of second place and one game down, want to consolidate their lead and maintain their unbeaten streak on the road.
Nottingham Forest arrives at the match in an extraordinary state of form, with seven consecutive wins and five clean sheets in a row, including the latest 2-0 FA Cup victory over Luton Town. Nottingham is expected to field Sels between the posts, the two central defenders will be Milenkovic and Murillo, on the three-quarter Elanga, Gibbs-White and Hudson-Odoi in support of bomber Wood. Out due to injury is Sangare.
Liverpool, unbeaten on the road and fresh off a clear 4-0 win in the FA Cup against Accrington, comes in with the best away streak of the season, having scored at least two goals in 12 consecutive games. Very few training doubts for Slot, who should send his ideal 11 on the field with a four-man defense formed by Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk and Robertson, in midfield confirmed Mac Allister and Gravenberch, while in attack the Reds’ bomber Salah cannot be missing. Unavailable are Gomez due to injury and Nunez due to disqualification.
