Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 121
Liverpool wins: 60
Draws: 29
Nott'm Forest wins: 32
Boasting close to a 50% success rate against their neighbours from Nottingham, Liverpool have triumphed in 60 of the previous 121 clashes between the two clubs, while the Garibaldi only have 32 successes to their name against the six-time European champions.
However, the most recent of those victories unexpectedly came at Anfield in September 2024, where Callum Hudson-Odoi's exquisite strike condemned Arne Slot to his first competitive defeat as Liverpool head coach.
Another 29 contests have ended level, but not since April 1999 have Liverpool and Forest shaken hands on a point apiece, although the Tricky Trees certainly felt robbed of a slice of the spoils in their most recent home affair in the 2023-24 season.
On a fateful March day at the City Ground, Liverpool stole a priceless 1-0 victory thanks to Darwin Nunez's 99th-minute winner before bedlam broke loose, with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis allegedly going after referee Paul Tierney in the tunnel.
The contest at Anfield earlier in the 2023-24 campaign was far less heated, as the Reds made light work of their opponents in a 3-0 triumph, having also won a five-goal thriller 3-2 at home in the closing stages of the 2022-23 campaign.
However, the Tricky Trees have now had Liverpool's number twice in the Premier League this millennium, as a strike from ex-Reds attacker Taiwo Awoniyi propelled them to a shock 1-0 win in October 2022.
That City Ground contest marked just the second meeting between Liverpool and Forest in the 21st century; the first saw the Reds win a 2021-22 FA Cup quarter-final 1-0 thanks to a goal from Diogo Jota, who boasts six in five games against the Tricky Trees.
Before the 2024-25 season, Forest had to go back a staggering 55 and a half years for their most recent league win away to Liverpool - a 2-0 triumph over Bill Shankly's Reds in February 1969 - only for the Reds' lack of bit to be punished severely in September.
Liverpool unsurprisingly dominate the individual goalscoring column in this head-to-head too, with Roger Hunt and Ian Rush the highest documented scorers in this fixture with 10 goals apiece.
