Match11 stats to know ahead of Liverpool v Nottingham Forest

The Reds return to action following the international break by hosting Nuno Espirito Santo's side in a 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday.

Opta have provided the following facts and figures to preview the fixture…

Liverpool haven't lost a home game against Nottingham Forest in any competition since February 1969, going unbeaten in 28 such matches since.

The Reds have won all three of their Premier League games under Arne Slot without conceding a single goal. No boss in the competition's history has kept a clean sheet in each of their first four matches in charge.

Slot's men could become only the fifth side in English top-flight history to win each of their opening four fixtures in a season without conceding.

Liverpool have only lost once in their last 24 league matches that have immediately followed an international break. When playing at Anfield in the league straight after an international break, the Reds haven't lost since September 2014 against Aston Villa.

The above defeat was the Reds' last home Premier League loss in September. They have won each of their last seven league contests at Anfield in the month, scoring at least three goals in each game.

Liverpool last lost a Premier League home game kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday back in August 2015 versus West Ham United, going unbeaten in 33 such matches since.

The Reds have netted three or more goals in each of their last five home league games against Forest.

Playing for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool, Diogo Jota has scored six goals in five appearances versus Forest in all competitions.

Jota has 16 goal involvements in his last 20 Premier League starts at Anfield (14 goals, two assists), either scoring or assisting in each of his last five home starts.

Mohamed Salah has both scored and assisted in 18 different Premier League games at Anfield. Only Kevin De Bruyne (21 times at Etihad Stadium) and Wayne Rooney (19 times at Old Trafford) have done so more often at a single venue in the competition's history.

Alexis Mac Allister has had a hand in six goals across his last eight Premier League appearances in L4 (three goals, three assists).
