Liverpool may have stumbled out of the gate, but an Anfield fixture like this is the textbook spot for the Reds to find their rhythm. Coming off a hard-fought 2-2 draw at Newcastle, Liverpool return home with reinforced attacking options and a clear imperative to secure all three points. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest enter on the back of consecutive losses to Leeds, leaving their confidence severely shaken. With models giving Liverpool a 61.1% win probability, expect the hosts to take control and handle business.
