At Anfield on 22 November 2025, Liverpool look to restart their campaign after a difficult run that has pushed them away from the top positions, while Nottingham Forest arrive fighting for survival but showing early signs of improvement under Sean Dyche. The contrast in quality, momentum, and home advantage sets the tone for what should be a controlled performance from the hosts.
Liverpool Hoping the Break Resets Their Rhythm
Liverpool’s recent form has been worrying, with seven losses in their last ten matches across competitions. The 0–3 defeat to Manchester City before the international break only deepened the concerns. Yet at Anfield the story remains different: four wins in five home Premier League games reflect their continued strength on home turf. The team’s pressing, possession control, and attacking combinations usually function far better in front of their supporters. The question now is whether the break arrived at the right moment to help Jürgen Klopp’s men regroup mentally and physically. With the gap to the top widening, Liverpool cannot afford further slips.
Nottingham Forest Grinding Their Way Forward Under Dyche
Though still second to last, Nottingham Forest look more organised and competitive since Sean Dyche took charge. The team has lost only once in his five matches, and the defensive structure shows clear improvement. However, their away record remains a major issue: Forest have not won a single away match this season and have failed to score in their last three on the road. Dyche may stabilise them, but Anfield is among the toughest venues for any team to test their progress.
Prediction: Home Win & Under 3.5 Goals
Liverpool’s strength at home, combined with Nottingham’s inability to score away, points strongly in the hosts’ favour. However, given Liverpool’s current form and Forest’s improved defensive discipline, a controlled rather than explosive match is likely.
The selection is Liverpool to win & Under 3.5 total goals.
