Team News
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest trio Jack Colback (back), Moussa Niakhate (thigh) and Omar Richards (calf) are all set to miss out again, while Harry Toffolo picked up a hamstring just 17 minutes after coming on against Brighton in midweek and is missing too. Lewis O'Brien, meanwhile, is still struggling to overcome an illness.

There is optimism over Renan Lodi's availability following an ankle sprain, though, which could see Serge Aurier drop out as Neco Williams shifts over to his favoured right-back role.

Jesse Lingard's place in the XI is certainly at risk this week, as either Emmanuel Dennis or ex-Liverpool youngster Taiwo Awoniyi push for a recall to the attacking line.
Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:
Henderson; Williams, Cook, McKenna, Lodi; Mangala, Yates, Freuler; Gibbs-White, Dennis, Johnson

Liverpool
As for Liverpool, Jota will not get the chance to replicate his FA Cup success at the City Ground this time, as the Portugal attacker has now been ruled out of the World Cup with the calf injury he sustained in the dying embers against Manchester City.

Klopp's options on the left-hand side are therefore limited with Luis Diaz still out with a knee injury, while Arthur (thigh), Naby Keita (thigh), Joel Matip (calf) and Ibrahima Konate (muscle) are out of contention too.

With a crucial Champions League tie versus Ajax to come, Klopp should not shy away from changes here, and Mohamed Salah's spot could potentially be at risk if the fresh legs of Harvey Elliott are utilized.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Salah, Fabinho, Thiago, Carvalho; Nunez, Firmino
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Liverpool
