📊EOTK Stats Pack: Nottingham Forest v Liverpool - Form guide, Klopp's Indian sign over Nuno and MORE
We analyse some of the key stats and info ahead as Liverpool resume Premier League duties following an excellent week on the domestic cup front
February began on a low note for Liverpool with the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal, but ended on the high of a 10th League Cup triumph and an FA Cup win over Southampton to maintain the quadruple charge going into March.
The Reds turn their attention back to the Premier League with a trip to Nottingham Forest, a fixture which would’ve been repeated in the FA Cup quarter-finals had Nuno Espirito Santo’s team overcome Manchester United in midweek rather than losing to a late goal.
This is the final top-flight game for Jurgen Klopp’s side before the pivotal showdown against Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday week, and with LFC’s two nearest chasers not in action today, it affords a chance to extend their lead at the summit and lay down a marker for their pursuers.
