Anfield will be packed when Liverpool welcome Nottingham Forest in their second Premier League game of the season. The Reds shared the spoils with Newcastle in a thrilling 2-2 draw in their opener, but they had plenty of chances to claim all three points, registering 27 goal attempts and an impressive 2.98 xG. Liverpool have won 38% of their last 10 home matches, scoring 1.63 goals per game, while summer signings Victor Munoz and Ronald Araujo are pushing for starting roles. Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez remain sidelined through injury.
Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, made a disappointing start to the new campaign, suffering a 1-0 home defeat to Leeds United. Forest have been inconsistent recently, winning just four of their last 10 matches, while their away defence has struggled, conceding 1.80 goals per game. Their away xGA of 2.24 also highlights potential problems against a Liverpool side that created almost three expected goals last weekend. Ryan Yates and Nicolo Savona are both unavailable, while towering striker Chris Wood is pushing for a start.
Liverpol created 2.98 xG against Newcastle and should have enough quality to overcome Forest at Anfield. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Liverpool Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Liverpool's last 10 matches have averaged 3.40 goals, while Forest's away games average 3.80).
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 12:30.
