I don't want to tell Ryan Gravenberch, 'Don't carry the ball and don't arrive to the box.' Because I think we scored against Monaco; the goal we scored, I think the one-two, it was Gravenberch to [Dominik] Szoboszlai and then a pass to Alex [Isak], and he scores, and no-one asked me, 'Why are you leaving Ryan Gravenberch and Szoboszlai there on the edge [of the box] both together?' No, they said, 'Incredible goal, lovely goal.' The Troubled Trees Forest have been a team on the rise the last few seasons, but they have struggled to start this one. Not only did Forest lose the EPL opener to Leeds, but Forest have also been knocked out of the Carabao Cup.

Even so, Liverpool should expect a challenge as Forest have always played them tough. Home Sweet Home Liverpool have not lost at Anfield to open a season since a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Chelsea in 2003.

In fact, they have not lost an August match at Anfield since 2015. Forest are just 1-9 in their last 10 away matches to open a season, so all signs point to a Liverpool victory.
