It is not often that Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher are in agreement with one another, but when it comes to their predictions for Liverpool’s match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, the two of them appeared to be in agreement with one another.
After having a successful week in the domestic cup competition, Jurgen Klopp’s team will shift their attention back to maintaining their position at the top of the Premier League when they head to the City Ground this coming weekend.
During the previous season, the Reds were defeated by that match by a score of 1-0, with Taiwo Awoniyi putting his former team to death.
However, the two individuals from Sky Sports believe that we will be able to avenge that loss by the most minute of margins.
The predictions that Neville and Carragher made for the game on the Stick to Football show were as follows: Neville predicted that Liverpool would win by a score of 2-1, and Carragher appeared to nod in agreement before adding, “Forest have got good attacking players so they’ll score, and [Darwin] Nunez and [Mo] Salah are back.”
There is currently no information available on whether or not those two attackers will be returning on Saturday, and Klopp is not providing any information regarding this matter at this moment.
However, if they were to return, it would undoubtedly be beneficial for the Reds in what might be a very difficult away match.
The fact that Forest has scored two goals or more in seven of their last nine league games gives them reason to be optimistic about their chances of preventing Caoimhin Kelleher from keeping a clean sheet.
However, we have demonstrated on multiple occasions this season that we are able to find a way to win, even when it appears that we are in a losing position.
We have discovered answers to a great deal of difficult questions that have been posed to us over the course of the past few weeks and months, but this matchup is yet another test of character for Liverpool, which is currently in a state of depletion.
