The international break is over and the Liverpool boys are back to keep their streak alive after winning 3 Premier League opening games in a row. Seven goals and no concede shows the true potential the Reds have to win all the trophies they will compete in this season.
In the last game, Liverpool played Manchester United in Old Trafford and smashed them 3-0 with two goals from Luis Diaz and one from Mo Salah who made 10 goals in 9 appearances in the Red Devils stadium.
The new boss Arne Slot, will try to keep this form going by beating Nottingham Forest at Anfield today. On the other side, The Garibaldis are unbeaten too, with two draws and a victory against Southampton.
Some Liverpool players had injury worries while on International duty, like Mac Allister who was expected to be out because he had a concern after Argentina lost 2-1 to Luis Diaz’s Colombia. Liverpool will be without Harvey Elliott who is expected to be out until late October due to a fractured foot, so that means he won’t be available at least until the end of the next International break.
This injury has concerned Arne Slot who spoke to the press conference saying that it is a big disappointment for the player and also for the team because if Elliott had stayed fit he would have featured in most of the matches.
For the match against Nottingham Forest, Slot is expected to play the same starting eleven as in the last game against Manchester United, the only difference could be if he won’t play Alexis Mac Allister in midfield but switch him with Curtis Jones.
In defense, we have Alisson, who has Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Trent Alexander-Arnold in front. Midfield is expected to be created with Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Curtis Jones. And in the attack we have the three goalscorers who have seven goals combined in the first Premier League matches. Luis Diaz who is having the form of his career, will play along Diogo Jota who has become the main striker on the team, and in the right wing will be Mo Salah.
Arne Slot expects another win in his second Anfield game in the Premier League so he can keep up with Pep’s Manchester City. They are in the first place at the moment after winning their first three games and they will face Brentford at home next.
Nine goals scored and 2 conceded shows how well Manchester City has entered the new 2024/2025 season and their aim is clear again, they will try to win every single trophy in all competitions they compete. Haaland has already scored two hattricks in the match against Ipswich and West Ham.
He leads the top goalscoring list with seven goals in only three games, and he is followed by Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz who both scored three goals. An exciting season for the English league awaits to all football fans around the world.
