Nottingham Forest remain unbeaten in three but continue to struggle for attacking consistency, coming off a dull 0–0 draw with Wolverhampton. Given their offensive issues, we predict a 2-0 away win. There are no fresh injuries for the Reds, though the likes of Chris Wood, John Victor, Willy Boly, and Matz Sels remain sidelined. Forest’s home numbers paint a mixed picture: 1.50 PPG, strong defensive stability with 0.25 goals conceded per game, and 75% home clean sheets, yet they also fail to score in 50% of their home matches, signalling a creativity problem. Winger Ndoye pushing for a start adds much-needed pace, but end product remains uncertain.
Liverpool come into this in far stronger overall form after a comfortable 3–0 FA Cup win over Brighton. The Resd have no new injuries and boast dominant attacking metrics: 2.50 goals scored per match, 60% win rate, and 1.75 PPG away. Impressively, they keep 75% clean sheets away, conceding just 0.75 per game. Their xG profile—2.09 for, 1.23 against—reinforces their superiority at both ends.
H2H meetings are relatively balanced, but current momentum clearly leans Liverpool’s way. Considering Liverpool's superior form, depth, and attacking quality, Away Win is our main betting tip for this Premier League matchup, alongside Liverpool to Score First and Under 3.5 goals (Liverpool often control away games).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 22 February 2026 at 14:00.
