Nottingham Forest face a daunting job this weekend when they go to Anfield to face a new-look Liverpool side.
Jurgen Klopp has left, and Arne Slot is working hard to make his mark.
Liverpool has yet to concede a goal in the Premier League, winning all three games this season.
Nuno Espirito Santo, Forest’s head coach, has a dismal record against Liverpool and will be trying to break that streak.
Liverpool rarely lose at Anfield, and this weekend will be a tough test for Forest, who are also unbeaten this season.
Roy Keane predicts who will score for Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Forest have had little success at Anfield over the years, with no wins since 1969.
Forest have lost 3-2 and 3-0 on Merseyside since returning to the Premier League, and they will try to keep things tight this weekend.
Roy Keane has predicted the outcomes for this week on The Overlap, and he believes Forest will score.
He’s gone a step further, predicting who will score for Forest in their defeat to Liverpool on Saturday.
Keane stated, “I believe Forest will score, possibly Morgan Gibbs-White; shall we go 3-1? Yes, let’s go 3-1, and Gibbs-White scores for Forest.”
Garth Crooks praised Gibbs-White in May 2023, calling him ‘outstanding’ after his performance in a 1-0 victory over Arsenal.
Gibbs-White keen to add more goals for Forest
Gibbs-White scored against Liverpool during Forest’s 3-2 defeat at Anfield in 2022/23, and he will be hoping for another this weekend.
Forest face a thankless assignment on Merseyside, as Slot’s club has yet to concede a goal since his arrival in English sport.
If the Reds can make things difficult for Liverpool, they may have a chance to win, and Gibbs-White appears to be the likely starter.
At 24, he has just earned his first England cap, and he will now want to continue in form for Forest to guarantee that more follow this year.
Forest are really fortunate to have Gibbs-White, and if he can score against Liverpool, his stock may improve even more.
