Liverpool is looking to make it four wins from four at the start of the season, and the Arne Slot era, against Nottingham Forest at Anfield.

The Reds started off the campaign with victories over Ipswich and Brentford before sweeping Manchester United aside at Old Trafford before the international break. And Slot's side haven't even conceded a goal in those matches.

Forest will prove a tough test though and is also unbeaten in its three matches so far. It is the start of a busy run of fixtures for Liverpool with a Champions League clash against AC Milan to come in the week.

“Up until this point, we have played one game each week but from now on we will play a match pretty much every three days so we have to be ready for that because the challenges will come thick and fast.

“As a squad and as a staff we have to be prepared for what is coming. Today we have the Premier League, in midweek we will play in the Champions League, then we have Premier League again and then it is Carabao Cup. This is all within the space of 11 days so it is a big challenge but also an exciting one."
