Liverpool face Nottingham Forest looking to close the gap to table-toppers Tottenham back to three points today. The Reds have won twice at Anfield already in the past eight days and are seeking a third successive home win across all competitions to continue their strong start to the 2023-24 Premier League season. Express Sport looks at how Jurgen Klopp may line up…<\/p>\n
The first of eight potential changes will come in goal. Caoimhin Kelleher played in the Europa League win over Toulouse on Thursday night but will drop back down to the bench here with No 1 Alisson returning and looking for back-to-back clean sheets. He was unable to shut Forest out home or away last year.<\/p>\n
Vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold is the only defender expected to keep his place from midweek having been replaced on 66 minutes. Captain Virgil van Dijk will return to the heart of the backline.<\/p>\n
Ibrahima Konate is the main candidate to partner him. It is then between Kostas Tsimikas and Joe Gomez to start at left-back but the Greek should get another chance to impress in the injured Andy Robertson’s absence despite his poor form so far this term.<\/p>\n
DON’T MISS: <\/strong> Liverpool have growing problem with Fabio Carvalho creeping up on Jurgen Klopp<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Curtis Jones played against Toulouse and is back from a three-match ban but Ryan Gravenberch is expected to start a third successive match after scoring and coming off on 70 minutes against the French team. Jones played 89 by contrast and is likelier to start again versus Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup next Wednesday.<\/p>\n In the four games he’s started, the Dutchman has two goals and an assist. He will join the first-choice duo of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, both rested altogether in Europe, against Forest. Klopp then has Jones, Wataru Endo and Harvey Elliott all in reserve.<\/p>\nMidfield – Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai<\/h2>\n
