Michael Regan/Getty Images Jason McAteer has sounded a word of caution that the ‘easy’ appearance of Liverpool‘s upcoming fixture list might be deceptive, with Nottingham Forest, West Ham United and Sunderland having every reason to make it difficult. Having to face a Sean Dyche led Nottingham Forest side after an international break is the least favourable outcome for Liverpool, feels McAteer, while West Ham are also looking for a turnaround in results and Sunderland are in a rich vein of form themselves, which will make either side difficult to face.
Season Position 2024–25 1st 2023–24 3rd 2022–23 5th 2021–22 2nd 2020–21 3rd Liverpool F.C.’s last five league finishes “Sean Dyche…if there’s one game coming into off the back of an international break, having changes in mind, and who, the personnel, is fit, Sean Dyche, the fight he is going to want to put up against you; he’s looking for an upturn himself. “Sunderland, what a result [against Arsenal] and how they are going.” Liverpool are due to play Nottingham Forest, PSV Eindhoven, West Ham and Sunderland post the international break with all the games, except the one against the Hammers, to be played at Anfield.
Nuno likewise has managed to turn around West Ham’s form, with the Hammers picking up back-to-back wins against Burnley and Newcastle United, respectively. Sunderland headed into the international break sitting fourth in the league table, after holding league leaders Arsenal to a draw, as the promoted team have surprised all and sundry with their performances this season.
