Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

Nottingham Forest secured their first away top-flight win against Liverpool since February 1969, ending their 25-game winless run at Anfield in league competition.

Nottingham Forest have won four consecutive away Premier League matches for the first time since March/April 1995. Indeed, their four previous away top-flight wins (prior to this run) came across a 40-game stretch.

Liverpool have lost two of their last five Premier League games at Anfield (W3), having lost just one of their previous 58 home league games prior to this run.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 25 home league games against Nottingham Forest (W20 D5), winning the last six in a row. Their last such defeat was in February 1969 under Bill Shankly (0-2).

Nottingham Forest have lost their last three Premier League games against Liverpool, their longest run of league defeats against the Reds since a run of five between 1983 and 1985.

Liverpool have won all three of their Premier League games under new manager Arne Slot without conceding a single goal. No manager in the competition’s history has kept a clean sheet in each of their first four matches in charge, while only six have won each of their first four, most recently Maurizio Sarri in 2018.

Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in four Premier League matches (W2 D2), their longest such run under Nuno Espírito Santo, while not since February 2023 have they enjoyed a longer unbeaten streak in the division (5 games).

Liverpool have only lost once in their last 24 Premier League matches that have immediately followed an international break (W18 D5), going down 4-1 at Manchester City in April 2023. When playing at Anfield in the league straight after an international break, the Reds haven’t lost since September 2014 against Aston Villa (0-1).
