Liverpool's Unbeaten Streak

Liverpool is on a quest for their third consecutive victory in all competitions, determined to maintain their unbeaten streak throughout October as they welcome Nottingham Forest to Anfield this afternoon.

This fixture marks the Reds' third home game in just nine days, following their triumphant outings against Everton and Toulouse at L4. Their resolve is to safeguard their unblemished home record since the season's outset.

On the one-year anniversary of their last Premier League loss at Anfield, Steve Cooper's side aspires to replicate what Leeds accomplished here a year ago. However, achieving this feat requires breaking a five-game winless streak, although four of those matches concluded in draws.

Today's starting lineup reintroduces several key players who were rested during Thursday night's Europa League victory over Toulouse. This includes Alisson Becker guarding the goal, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate fortifying the central defense, and Kostas Tsimikas occupying the left-back position, with Trent Alexander-Arnold maintaining his role as right-back.

In the midfield, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai make their return to the starting XI, complementing Ryan Gravenberch, who delivered a stellar performance in the midweek match.

On the offensive front, Mo Salah rejoins the lineup, poised to reach his tenth goal in all competitions this season. Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota retain their positions from Thursday night's fixture.
