Nottingham Forest followed up on their impressive 3-0 win at Anfield with another victory of the same scoreline as they beat Malmo on Thursday. Sean Dyche's side are currently unbeaten across November and have just one more game to play this month in order to keep up their current hot streak. Brighton are another bidding to continue their recent form, with the Seagulls also yet to lose a game in all competitions this month.
Forest opened the scoring by taking advantage of Liverpool's poor form from set-pieces this season. Excluding penalties, Slot's side have conceded nine league goals from set-pieces this season - as many as they did in the whole of last season. For the first goal, Liverpool had six players in the six-yard box including goalkeeper Alisson, while the visitors smartly only placed two in there.
Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche has plenty to ponder heading into the November international break, as an out-of-favour player came to his rescue against Leeds United. Plenty was riding on the game, with Forest starting the game second from bottom in the Premier League table, and Leeds only a couple of places higher. The two sides' starts to the campaign suggest both could be fighting for survival come the end of the season, making this a crucial match-up.
"Everyone at Nottingham Forest is shocked and deeply saddened by what happened. The courage and selflessness shown by our supporters on that train represents the very best of humanity and the very best of our club's community. We will make sure any supporter caught up in this incident receives whatever financial support they require to enable them to access the best possible medical care as they recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected."
Why did you think he was going to do it properly? Power, control - that's how they work. Yes, you have to sack managers, but do it with a little bit of class - they can't do it. And then the players are coming in afterwards (saying) 'oh well, that's football', all that carry on when lads are missing the target from 10, 15 yards out.
