Liverpool return to Premier League action on Saturday, hoping to reboot their campaign with three points against Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
Arne Slot’s Reds endured one of the worst runs in club history when they lost six out of seven games leading up to the start of November, but they thought they had turned a corner after an impressive 2-0 victory against Aston Villa and a 1-0 triumph over Real Madrid earlier this month.However, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City scuppered the Merseysiders’ resurgence by downing them 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium last time out, and Liverpool will be hoping to avoid slipping back into losing form this weekend.
Bolstering that aim will be the returning Alisson Becker, who Slot expects to be ready to make his first appearance since being forced off with a hamstring injury against Galatasaray on September 30, and the top-flight champions will be pleased to see their absentee list looking shorter than it has in weeks.Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash against Sean Dyche’s Tricky Trees.
