Preview: Liverpool – Nottingham Forest

They are a winning machine at the moment and Liverpool manager Arne Slot knows he has to keep it up if he wants to challenge for the title – even though they are only days away from their Champions League match against Milan.

It's a strange situation that both they and Manchester City kick off at 3pm on a Saturday.

But since both teams are the only ones with a 100 percent winning streak and are also level on goal difference, each of them has a chance to secure the top spot.

Liverpool are actually in second place, having scored two fewer goals than City's nine, but Slot's team have yet to concede either of them this season.

The Reds have also beaten Forest in their last three meetings. In fact, Forest's record here is abysmal, having failed to win any of their last 28 league games here since 1969.

Forest have struggled to score goals in their previous season matches, scoring just five goals in their three matches so far.

Nevertheless, they are also undefeated (1 win, 2 draws) and could prove to be a tough opponent here.

Will the Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest game be broadcast on TV and can it be streamed?

• Unfortunately, the Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest match will NOT be broadcast live on TV in the UK due to the 3pm blackout period for football matches on Saturday.
• However, SunSport will have minute-by-minute text coverage of the entire match.

Team News Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest

Alexis Mac Allister sustained an injury during an international match, but it is probably not serious.

Harvey Elliott will be out for a few weeks, but Federico Chiesa will be pushing for a role after his move from Juventus towards the end of the transfer window.

After the stunning start, no major changes are expected in Slot's team.

Forest will be without midfielder Danilo, who suffered a horrific injury on the opening day of the season.
