"Forest arrive encouraged by a strong managerial debut. Pereira's side produced a confident display in Turkey, with Murillo, Igor Jesus and Morgan Gibbs-White all scoring to end a three-match winless run. The hosts sit just above the relegation zone but have shown signs of improvement, losing only one of their last six league matches. Three successive home fixtures have ended in draws, and scoring at the City Ground has proved difficult, with Forest netting just once in each of their last four top-flight games there."
"Ryan Gravenberch is pushing to return to the starting lineup, which could see Dominik Szoboszlai operate in a deeper or wider role depending on selection. Forest reported no new injury concerns following their European match. However, Willy Boly, Chris Wood, John Victor and Nicolo Savona remain out with knee injuries, while goalkeeper Matz Sels is still unavailable due to a groin problem, meaning Stefan Ortega is expected to continue in goal."
Nottingham Forest host Liverpool at the City Ground on Sunday following convincing recent victories for both teams. Forest beat Fenerbahce 3-0 in the Europa League as Vitor Pereira began his reign, with Murillo, Igor Jesus and Morgan Gibbs-White scoring. Liverpool beat Brighton in the FA Cup and have wins over Newcastle and Sunderland, but have only two Premier League victories in their last six and have not recorded consecutive away league wins since September. Forest sit just above the relegation zone but have lost only one of their last six league matches. Several injury absences affect both squads and Stefan Ortega is expected in goal for Forest.
