Jamie Carragher believes that Nottingham Forest can become a serious contender in the English Premier League title race. However, at first, they will have to beat Liverpool for that.

Nottingham Forest proves themselves to be a headache for the Reds. Nuno Espirito Santos and his lads have proved themselves as a giant killer in the 2024/25 season Premier League. The Portuguese tactician has already beaten the top 6 Premier League clubs. Moreover, he has been a headache for Arne Slot. 

Nottingham Forest consistently won their games against teams like Manchester City and Tottenham. Nottingham Forest has successfully won their last 6 games against Brentford, Manchester United, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Everton, and Wolves.

In an interview with Sky Sports, the former England international stated that Nottingham Forrest are a serious title contender right now. The Former Liverpool legend said: " If they beat Liverpool, they are in the title race. What would I say right now is if the Champions League goes to the top five positions they have got one hell of a chance."
