“Looking Forward to Seeing…”: Chris Sutton Predicts Liverpool vs Forest Result as He Backs One Player to Score

Liverpool are likely one of the Premier League teams most affected by the international break, which interrupted their impressive momentum.

The Reds have made an excellent start to the season, winning all three of their league matches so far, while also maintaining a perfect defensive record with clean sheets in each game.

Their most recent victory before the break was a commanding 3-0 away win over Manchester United, highlighting the significant gap in quality between the two longstanding rivals.

Next up for Liverpool is a return to action against another team called the Reds—Nottingham Forest.

Anfield will be the venue for this clash, where Arne Slot’s team will face Nuno Espirito Santo’s side in a 3pm kick-off on Saturday.

BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has offered his prediction for the upcoming match on Merseyside.

Despite Nottingham Forest’s solid start to the league with one win and two draws, Liverpool are expected to be strong favourites on their home turf.

Chris Sutton’s prediction on the BBC Sport website echoes this sentiment, as he has tipped Klopp’s Reds to secure a comfortable 2-0 victory over the City Ground team.

“I am at Anfield for Radio 5 Live and I am looking forward to seeing Arne Slot’s Liverpool,” Sutton wrote.

“They have not conceded a goal yet, and don’t give away many chances, but they still look good going forward and absolutely tore Manchester United apart at Old Trafford.

“Chris Wood is in good form for Nottingham Forest but I just don’t see them scoring.

“Their plan will probably just be to sit in and try to keep Liverpool out, but I don’t think that will work either – Mohamed Salah will score, and Slot will win again.”

Liverpool will be missing Harvey Elliott due to an injury, but Alexis Mac Allister and Federico Chiesa are both in contention for selection.

Apart from Elliott, Slot has a full squad available for the match against Forest.

Forest will also evaluate Ramon Sosa and Chris Wood following their international commitments with Paraguay and New Zealand, respectively.
