Liverpool, reeling from a string of poor results, prepares for a crucial Premier League showdown against a resurgent Nottingham Forest at Anfield, hoping to turn their season around.
Liverpool face a critical home test against Nottingham Forest, who boss Sean Dyche insists must be “on their A game” at Anfield.
According to a report from FotMob, Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche has warned that his side must bring their best performance when they visit Liverpool at Anfield. Dyche stated, “you have to be on your ‘A game’ to beat these teams, particularly at their place.”
Forest arrive at this fixture following a 3-1 win over Leeds, their first since Dyche took over.
The Tricky Trees, currently ninth in the Premier League, see this clash as a major opportunity to pile pressure on Liverpool, especially given their recent improvement.
For Liverpool, the match comes after a tough international break, with the Reds having dropped to eighth in the table following a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.
Despite this, Slot’s side remain dangerous at home — the manager has frequently pointed to Forest’s recent win at Anfield and their ability to frustrate top sides.
On their part, Forest will lean on their defensive strength and the dynamism of players like Morgan Gibbs-White and Ryan Yates, who have featured prominently in Dyche’s recent lineups.
With both teams motivated, FotMob describes the upcoming clash as a “must-win” for Liverpool if they are to regain momentum in their campaign.
