Prediction: Nottingham Forest to Win or Draw
Points in this round are crucial for Liverpool in their fight for a Champions League spot, and the team's recent form is decent. Notably, after changing their manager, Nottingham Forest are likely to see an upturn in form. Their impressive 3-0 away win over Fenerbahce in midweek is a strong statement result. We back Nottingham Forest to remain unbeaten at home.
Comprehensive Prediction Analysis
Nottingham Forest
The new manager bounce was well and truly alive for Liverpool all throughout 2024-25, and not for the first time this season, the famed effect was also evident when Forest took to Fenerbahce's field for Europa League action.In their first game since the controversial departure of Sean Dyche, Pereira - who contributed to what could be the worst-ever Premier League season from Wolverhampton Wanderers - oversaw a tremendous 3-0 win over the Turkish giants thanks to Murillo, Igor Jesus and Morgan Gibbs-White's strikes. Ending a three-match winless run in sensational style, Forest's statement success was not entirely unexpected - across Pereira's last 15 managerial jobs, he has avoided defeat in his first match in all of them, claiming a striking 11 wins.The Portuguese now aims to drag Forest away from the Premier League danger zone, as the 17th-placed Garibaldi come into the weekend just three points clear of West Ham United, but with form somewhat on their side. Only one of the hosts' last six Premier League contests has ended in defeat, while each of their last three at the City Ground have been drawn, but goals in front of their own fans remain hard to come by. Indeed, Forest have only found the back of the net once in each of their last four top-flight matches at the City Ground, although their 3-0 demolition of Liverpool in November made it three games unbeaten against the English champions.

Liverpool
As much as Arsenal are making life difficult for themselves at the top of the Premier League table, retaining the title is surely a bridge too far for Liverpool, but two avenues to silverware remain for Arne Slot's rejuvenated crop.Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah were all on target as the Reds ran riot against Brighton in the FA Cup - where they will face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fifth round - and the Champions League will soon come back into view for the visitors too. Knockout successes have left Liverpool with a pleasing record of four wins from their last five in all competitions, but the Premier League picture is not so rosy for the Reds, who have only prevailed in two of their last six in the top tier.However, those triumphs have come across Liverpool's last three games - against Newcastle United and Sunderland - to keep the sixth-placed champions within touching distance of Manchester United in fourth spot. The aforementioned success at Sunderland made the Reds the first team to beat the Black Cats at the Stadium of Light in the 2025-26 Premier League season, but not since September have Slot's outfit won back-to-back top-flight games away from Anfield.
