Tue Jan 14 19:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Nottingham Forest Aim for Shock Second Victory Over Liverpool
**Nottingham, England –** Nottingham Forest, the surprise package of the Premier League season, host league leaders Liverpool tonight in a highly anticipated clash. Kick-off is at 8 pm GMT.
Forest, currently third in the table, are looking to pull off another upset after defeating Liverpool at Anfield earlier this season. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo insists his side will not underestimate their opponents, stating, “We know what we can do and how we want to do things. We know each other, our strengths and weaknesses.”
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, meanwhile, acknowledges Forest’s impressive form, admitting their Anfield defeat was a “shock result” at the time. He described the game plan employed by Forest as effective, adding, “They had a good game plan and made us play a poor game. We have to do better.” Klopp also praised Mohamed Salah, calling him “the biggest striker Liverpool have had in modern times.”
Team news reveals that Liverpool will be without suspended striker Darwin Núñez and injured defender Joe Gomez. Forest’s Danilo is expected to start after recovering from an ankle injury, while Ibrahim Sangare remains sidelined. Both teams have made one change to their starting XI from their last league games.
A win for Forest would not only extend their remarkable season but also fuel speculation about their potential to challenge for a Champions League spot, or even more. The match is a throwback to the intense rivalry between the two clubs in past decades and promises to be a captivating encounter.
