Nottingham Forest versus Liverpool’s starting lineup and new addition Chiesa pushing for her debut and posing fresh problems
When Liverpool hosts Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday, they will try to build on their unbeaten start to the current Premier League campaign.
Under new manager Arne Slot, the reds have performed well thus far. Just before the international break, they destroyed rivals Manchester United 3-0, their greatest performance to date.
Although the internationals may have provided Trent Alexander-Arnold with a chance to impress players such as Roy Keane, the past two weeks turned out to be a nightmare for other Liverpool players.
While representing England U21, Harvey Elliot experiences an injury setback.
The biggest loss for Liverpool was Harvey Elliot, who will be sidelined until late October due to a foot fracture he sustained at St George’s Park.
While playing for Argentina, Alexis Mac Allister, a fellow midfielder, too experienced a near-accident; nonetheless, he is anticipated to be fully recovered for Forest’s visit.
Liverpool’s top players, however, made a mostly unharmed return to Kirby. With the way the Reds have played so far this season, Slot ought to start with the same Liverpool lineup that destroyed Manchester United two weeks ago.
- Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, Konate, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Diaz, Jota
Will Chiesa made his Liverpool debut on Saturday?
It’s a familiar side for fans, but there is expected to be one new face on the bench for the hosts this weekend.
As has been widely reported, new club signing Federico Chiesa could be in line for a debut off the bench, having trained at Kirby during the international break.
