Liverpoolvs.Nott'm Forest

sportsmole.co.uk, 12 September 2024, 09:16

One of Liverpool or Nottingham Forest could be condemned to their first loss of the Premier League campaign on Saturday afternoon, when the two sides square off at Anfield.

The Reds have made a flying start to life with Arne Slot in the chair, winning their opening three matches of the new campaign and keeping three clean sheets to boot, while notching seven goals at the correct end of the field.

Meanwhile, Forest have a respectable five points to show from their first trio of games this term, getting the better of Southampton either side of low-scoring stalemates with Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 120

Liverpool wins: 60

Draws: 29

Nott'm Forest wins: 31

Boasting a 50% success rate against their neighbours from Nottingham, Liverpool have triumphed in 60 of the previous 120 clashes between the two clubs, while the Garibaldi only have 31 successes to their name against the six-time European champions.

Another 29 contests have ended level, but not since April 1999 have Liverpool and Forest shaken hands on a point apiece, although the Tricky Trees certainly felt robbed of a slice of the spoils in their most recent affair in the 2023-24 season.

On a fateful March day at the City Ground, Liverpool stole a priceless 1-0 victory thanks to Darwin Nunez's 99th-minute winner before bedlam broke loose, with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis allegedly going after referee Paul Tierney in the tunnel.

The contest at Anfield earlier in the 2023-24 campaign was far less heated, as the Reds made light work of their opponents in a 3-0 triumph, having also won a five-goal thriller 3-2 at home in the closing stages of the 2022-23 campaign.

Liverpool are therefore bidding for a fourth straight win over Forest in top-flight action this weekend, but the Tricky Trees have had their number once in the Premier League this millennium, as a strike from ex-Reds attacker Taiwo Awoniyi propelled them to a shock 1-0 win in October 2022.

That City Ground contest marked just the second meeting between Liverpool and Forest in the 21st century; the first saw the Reds win a 2021-22 FA Cup quarter-final 1-0 thanks to a goal from Diogo Jota, who boasts six in five games against the Tricky Trees.

Forest have to go back a staggering 55 and a half years for their most recent league win away to Liverpool, a 2-0 triumph over Bill Shankly's Reds in February 1999, since when the Merseyside titans have won 20 and drawn five of their 25 Anfield top-flight battles.

Liverpool unsurprisingly dominate the individual goalscoring column in this head-to-head too, with Roger Hunt and Ian Rush the highest documented scorers in this fixture with 10 goals apiece.
