Slowly but surely, Liverpool are getting their season back on track.
Back-to-back 1-0 wins against Manchester City and West Ham have propelled the Reds up the table, and they have a great chance to make it three on the bounce against Nottingham Forest this weekend.
Indeed, the Premier League’s basement boys visit Anfield on Saturday and to say that the home team are favourites for this one would be something of an understatement.
Forest are not fancied to win this one in the slightest, but, as ever, stranger things have happened, so Liverpool need to be on the ball if they’re going to win this one.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting the Reds’ starting XI for this game.
We think that Jurgen Klopp will be making two changes from the team that started against West Ham.
Darwin Nunez is a doubt for this match, therefore, we forsee something of a formation change.
Liverpool lined up in what could be described as a 4-4-2 last time out, but with Nunez potentially sidelined, we think the 4-3-3 will return with Fabio Carvalho involved in a more advanced position.
Therefore, Fabinho returns to the mix in the middle of the park in place of Nunez as Liverpool rejig up top.
Meanwhile the backline remains largely the same, but there is one change as Andrew Robertson comes in for Kostas Tsimikas to retake his position as Liverpool’s first-choice left-back.
Fabinho is flanked by both Thiago and Jordan Henderson, while Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah act as the attacking threats alongside the young Carvalho.
