Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest: Premier League - LIVE!
Liverpool will return to Premier League play today as they take on Forest at Anfield. Arne Slot has made an impressive entrance into English football, winning all three of his matches so far. More difficult challenges are likely ahead, but the way his team convincingly defeated Manchester United in their last game was certainly encouraging.
The forest is sure to pose some challenges. After some turbulent moments since their promotion with Steve Cooper at the helm, Nuno Espirito Santo seems to have brought a bit of stability to the team. Their summer signings were kept to a minimum, and so far, they have not lost any matches, although two of those games ended in ties.
The home team will undoubtedly be the favorites as they aim to stay competitive with Manchester City and possibly Arsenal. Stay up-to-date with all the excitement by following the live match blog from Standard Sport!
