"Liverpool fans may lament the controversial decision to rule out Virgil van Dijk's goal at the Etihad, but few could argue that their side deserved anything from a 3-0 defeat to a dominant Manchester City. Dogged performances against Aston Villa and Real Madrid earlier in the week counted for little in Manchester, where Jeremy Doku tore through the Reds' defense and capped the scoring with a stunning curler after Erling Haaland and Nico González had struck."
"The gap to leaders Arsenal now stands at eight points, and Slot's side are mathematically as close to the relegation zone as they are to the Gunners-a reality that has fueled talk of surrendering the title. However, Anfield remains a fortress: Liverpool have won four of five home league games this season, and they have not failed to score at home in the top flight for over a year."
Liverpool suffered a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in which Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland and Nico González were key contributors, ending a 44-game Premier League scoring streak. The loss left Liverpool eight points behind leaders Arsenal and prompted questions about title prospects, while home form remains strong with four wins from five league matches and over a year of scoring at Anfield. Nottingham Forest arrive unbeaten in their last three matches and aim to extend that run. Team news includes Alisson's expected return, injuries to Florian Wirtz, Conor Bradley, Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni, and selection dilemmas at right-back and in attack.
