Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest have emerged as a shocking entry in the top four on the Premier League leaderboard this season, and not to forget that we have crossed the midway point. Under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, the team has accumulated 40 points in 20 matches, currently standing in the third position.

Forest are also on a six-match winning spree in the Premier League, while their last appearances saw a 3-0 victory against Luton Town in the FA Cup third round. The Reds of north-west England are not only charging for a Champions League berth but also aspiring high to lift the Premier League.

This game against Liverpool offers them a golden opportunity to decrease their points gap with Liverpool and put more pressure on the second-placed Arsenal, who are level on points with Forest. 

Injury Updates: Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo will have to field the best eleven to take on Liverpool without the services of Ibrahim Sangare, who is out due to a thigh injury.

Liverpool FC

Liverpool have not been able to manage to perform at their best in the last couple of outings, although they have bounced back with a 4-0 thumping over Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup third round. 

However, Arne Slot's men are not to be judged based on their last couple of outings, as they have already shown immense character and consistency to score goals and salvage points from the games.

The fact that Liverpool have scored at least two goals in their last 12 PL matches, may inject worries among their opponents tonight.

Liverpool are still the clear favourites to be crowned the league champions, but they must not drop points at this point, and perform the way they performed in the advent of the 2024-25 season.

Team News

Liverpool

Liverpool custodian Alisson Becker became the point of difference between Liverpool's victory and PSG, who made a remarkable nine saves at the Parc des Princes, except for a disallowed offside goal from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Liverpool were cornered during the whole game in every sector of the play, but they somehow came out of Paris with a victory, courtesy of a late strike from Harvey Elliot who found the net only after 47 seconds of coming onto the pitch.

Manager Arne Slot will have to select the team roster without Connor Bradley, Joe Gomez, and Tyler Morton, who are all recovering from long-term injuries. Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai might be the other absentees as they are doubtful.

Liverpool could face greater trouble even if they advance to the next round, as Elliott, Konaté, Mac Allister, Robertson, and Van Dijk will all be suspended for the upcoming UCL match if they receive a yellow card in this game.

Paris Saint-Germain

Despite the shock of Les Parisiens' defeat in the first leg, especially considering the number of chances they created, it was merely another chapter in PSG's ongoing struggles in the Champions League. 

PSG registered a total of zero goals from 27 shots, ending a frustrating night in defeat, as they will be desperate enough at Anfield to turn things around, in search of their much-eluded continental crown.

The Parisiens triumphed 4-1 against Rennes in the Ligue 1 last weekend, handing themselves a confidence boost ahead of the travel to Merseyside.
