As Nottingham Forest did not return to the promised land of the Premier League until 2022, Mohamed Salah only became acquainted with the Tricky Trees two years ago, and the Anfield clash in September 2024 was just his fourth appearance against them in any competition.
Liverpool did meet with Forest before their promotion to the top flight in the quarter-finals of the 2021-22 FA Cup, but Salah was not in the squad for that game, which the Reds won 1-0 thanks to a Diogo Jota goal.
The Egypt international has since locked horns with Forest four times in the Premier League, helping the Reds to two victories while also suffering two defeats, which came in his first and most recent top-flight showdowns with the Tricky Trees.
Indeed, Arne Slot's men were expected to dispatch the Garibaldi with minimal difficulty, only for Forest to stun the Anfield faithful in a 1-0 victory, almost two years on from an identical success on home soil.
On that day in October 2022, former Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi bagged the only goal against his erstwhile employers, but it was soon Salah's turn to make the net bulge in fixtures between the Reds and the Tricky Trees.
Indeed, the winger's first goal against Forest came later that season in a five-goal Anfield thriller, where he netted what proved to be the winner in a 3-2 triumph, before repeating the trick on Merseyside in October 2023.
Again, Salah scored Liverpool's third of three goals in a much more straightforward 3-0 home victory, following up strikes from Jota and Darwin Nunez, but he missed the dramatic 1-0 win at the City Ground in March 2024 due to a muscle injury.
