"The Tricky Trees ushered in the Vítor Pereira era with a superb European triumph over Fenerbahçe, while Liverpool enjoyed a commanding FA Cup win over Brighton & Hove Albion. The early effects of a managerial change were on full display as Forest travelled to Turkey for Europa League duty. In their first match since Sean Dyche's controversial departure, Pereira-whose last job played a part in Wolverhampton Wanderers' historically poor Premier League campaign-oversaw a clinical 3-0 dismantling of Fenerbahçe."
"Across his last 15 managerial roles, the Portuguese coach has avoided defeat in every first match, winning 11 of them. His immediate priority now turns back to domestic survival. Forest enter the weekend placed 17th-three points clear of West Ham United-and aiming to build on the momentum of recent performances. Only one of Forest's last six Premier League matches has ended in defeat, and they have drawn each of their last three home fixtures at the City Ground."
Both Nottingham Forest and Liverpool arrive off emphatic 3-0 victories, Forest winning in Europe and Liverpool in the FA Cup. Forest began the Vítor Pereira era with a 3-0 win over Fenerbahçe, with Murillo, Igor Jesus and Morgan Gibbs-White scoring. Pereira has avoided defeat in his first match across his previous 15 managerial roles, winning 11 of them. Forest sit 17th, three points clear of West Ham, seeking momentum while scoring remains an issue at the City Ground, with only one goal in each of their last four top-flight home games. Several players are sidelined with knee problems and Matz Sels is nursing a groin issue.
