Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest simulated to get a Premier League score prediction

Liverpool returns to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon when the Reds take on Nottingham Forest at Anfield. It will hope to go above Manchester City, albeit perhaps extremely briefly.

Ryan Gravenberch starred for Liverpool as the Reds won 5-1 against Toulouse in their previous outing, keeping Jürgen Klopp's side top of its Europa League group with three wins from three. The victory came after a 2-0 win in the Premier League over Merseyside rivals Everton, sending Liverpool into Sunday's clash with form on its side.

The last meeting between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest was a thriller, with Mohamed Salah scoring the winner in a 3-2 win at Anfield. Curtis Jones remains suspended for the clash, whilst Thiago, Andy Robertson and Stefan Bajčetić are all set to miss out through injury.

So, can Liverpool continue their impressive Premier League form? To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that the Reds could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold,, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Salah, Núñez, Díaz.

We predict that Forest could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Turner; Aurier, Boly, Murillo, Toffolo; Sangar, Mangala, Dominguez; Gibbs-White, Wood, Elanga.

Liverpool dominated the opening stages at Anfield, with Salah, Darwin Núñez and Gravenberch all guilty of missing great chances to go ahead. Heads didn't drop as the Reds continued to press for a goal, and just before the break, Klopp's side finally opened the scoring.

Dominik Szoboszlai picked up the ball on the edge of the box, and the midfielder fizzed a pass into the feet of Núñez before continuing his run into the box. Szoboszlai received the return pass from his teammate, and a smart finish with the outside of his foot saw the ball nestle into the bottom corner for 1-0.

Forest barely had a sniff of goal in the second half as Liverpool continued to dominate, but some big misses and great saves from Matt Turner kept the score at 1-0 until the final whistle.
