Liverpool will be presented with an opportunity to solidify their position in the top four as Nottingham Forest visits Anfield this Sunday afternoon. The Reds come into the match on the back of a splendid 5-1 victory over Toulouse in the Europa league group stages, so we can expect them to grab all three points from this domestic contest.
Jurgen Klopp will set his men up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a lot of changes to his first XI for this game. Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Domink Szoboszlai, Virgil Van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas and Alisson will all play from the start of this home encounter.
4-3-3 Liverpool Predicted XI Vs Nottingham Forest
Defence
Alisson will function in between the sticks for the Reds as he looks to earn a clean sheet at home. Virgil Van Dijk will play alongside Ibrahima Konate at the centre of the Liverpool backline as they try to keep the away side at bay throughout the 90 minutes.
Trent-Alexander Arnold will continue to operate as the right-back while Kostas Tsimikas looks to impress on the other side as the left-back.
Joe Gomez and Joel Matip will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch will operate as Klopp’s primary central midfielders as they try to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park. All three of them have to move the ball well if they want to create enough chances for Liverpool to earn a convincing win at Anfield.
Custis Jones and Harvey Elliot will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Darwin Nunez will try to catch the eye as the left-winger while Luis Diaz will look to put his pace to good use on the right flank.
Mohamed Salah will spearhead the Merseyside club’s attack up top. The Egypt international will have to carry most of the goal-scoring workload for his team.
Diogo Jota will take a spot on the bench as he waits for a chance to impress in the final third.
