Liverpool will lock horns with Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, hoping to pick up a positive result on their home turf. The Reds will be coming into the match on the back of an emphatic 6-1 win against Leeds United, whereas the visitors recorded a 2-0 loss to Manchester United.
Jurgen Klopp will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation with minimum changes from the past week.
4-3-3 Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Nottingham Forest
Defence
Alisson Becker should operate between the sticks for the upcoming clash. The Brazilian shot-stopper would hope to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Saturday.
Ibrahima Konate will form the centre-half partnership with Virgil van Dijk at the heart of Liverpool’s backline.
Andrew Robertson is a guaranteed starter at the left wing-back position, whereas Trent Alexander-Arnold will fill in on the other flank as the right wing-back. The full-backs will be expected to stretch their side’s attack in the opposition’s half.
Konstantinos Tsimikas will have to settle for a place on the bench, but he could be brought on in the game’s latter stages if needed.
Midfield
Fabinho might start in the holding midfield position and be assigned a more defensive role to shield the home side’s back four.
Jordan Henderson and Curtis Jones will slot into the central midfield roles. The duo would be determined to set up clear-cut goal-scoring chances for the frontmen.
Attack
Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah will take up the wide positions, playing on the left and right-wing, respectively.
Diogo Jota will lead the line against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The Portugal international would hope to get his name on the scoresheet when he faces off against the Forest defence that has conceded nine goals in their last five league matches.
Luis Diaz could come off the bench in the second forty-five minutes of the match.
