Liverpool team vs Nottingham Forest predicted as Darwin Nunez starts amid Alexis Mac Allister call

Liverpool predicted lineup

Liverpool are expected to make a number of changes to the team that started in the 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday. Darwin Nunez is likely to start up front in place of Roberto Firmino, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could come into the midfield in place of Jordan Henderson. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson are both expected to return to the starting lineup at full-back, while Ibrahima Konate could replace Joel Matip in central defence. Possible Liverpool lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Salah, Nunez, Diaz

Nottingham Forest predicted lineup

Nottingham Forest are likely to field a similar team to the one that started in the 1-0 defeat to Fulham on Saturday. Dean Henderson is expected to start in goal, with Serge Aurier, Joe Worrall, Willy Boly and Renan Lodi forming the back four. Ryan Yates and Remo Freuler are likely to start in central midfield, with Morgan Gibbs-White, Brennan Johnson and Jesse Lingard playing in support of Taiwo Awoniyi up front. Possible Nottingham Forest lineup: Henderson; Aurier, Worrall, Boly, Lodi; Yates, Freuler; Gibbs-White, Johnson, Lingard; Awoniyi

Alexis Mac Allister call-up

Alexis Mac Allister has been called up to the Argentina squad for the upcoming World Cup. The Brighton midfielder has been in impressive form for his club this season, scoring five goals in 12 Premier League appearances. Mac Allister's call-up is a reward for his fine form and he will be hoping to play a key role for Argentina in Qatar.

Conclusion

Liverpool will be confident of victory when they host Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday. The Reds are in good form and have a strong squad, while Forest are struggling at the wrong end of the table. However, Forest will be looking to cause an upset and they have a number of dangerous players in their team. It should be an interesting match and Liverpool will need to be at their best to secure the three points.
