Overall, a 1-1 draw keeps Liverpool’s cushion ahead of Forest intact, even if Slot will have reservations as he did at Anfield four months ago despite an excellent second half.

Nottingham Forest has won six straight games, including against worthy opponents in Manchester United, Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Brentford. They haven’t conceded a single goal in their last four outings. They continue to have an elite defense as one of only two PL teams allowing less than one goal per game.
