Liverpool
Despite being eligible to make his debut for Liverpool in the crushing of Man United, Federico Chiesa was held back as he built up his fitness levels, but a Reds baptism may now await the ex-Juventus attacker off the bench.
There is also optimism that Curtis Jones's groin problem will settle down in time for the weekend, while Alexis Mac Allister also shook off an adductor issue while playing for Argentina and should be fine to start on Saturday too.
However, the Reds have reportedly lost the versatile Harvey Elliott to a broken foot, which will sideline the 21-year-old for at least six and potentially up to eight weeks, leaving Salah without one of his recognised backups as he chases a fourth goal from as many games this season.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota
Nottingham
While Liverpool may have one new player appearing for the first time on Saturday, Forest could give James Ward-Prowse and Morato their first minutes in a Tricky Trees shirt, although the former is much more likely to feature from the first whistle due to Ibrahim Sangare's recent knock.
Only two more of Santo's players are taking up beds in the infirmary, as Danilo recovers from the sickening ankle injury he sustained on the opening weekend, while defender Willy Boly hurt his calf on international duty and is unavailable too.
Expected to keep former Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi at bay despite his international exploits, Wood will endeavour to finally score a league goal against the Reds at the 12th time of asking, having never made the net bulge versus Saturday's hosts in 11 previous league affairs.
Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:
Sels; Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Aina; Ward-Prowse, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Nottingham Forest
