Liverpool are unbeaten in all nine of their Premier League away fixtures so far this season (won seven, drawn two). Only in 1987-88 (first 15), 2018-19 (10) and 2019-20 (13) have they had longer undefeated runs on the road from the start of a top-flight campaign.

The Reds have scored at least twice in each of their last 12 Premier League games, their second-longest such run after doing so in 15 consecutive matches between March and September 2019.

Following a 1-0 win at Anfield in the reverse fixture in September, Forest are looking to complete their first league double over Liverpool since 1962-63.

If Forest were to win on Tuesday, it would be only the third occasion that both of a team’s first two defeats of a Premier League season have come against the same opponent (after Manchester United versus Chelsea in 1993-94 and Newcastle United against Liverpool in 2022-23).

Liverpool won this fixture 1-0 last season, ending a 13-game winless streak in away league matches against Forest (drew seven, lost six).

Forest have won each of their last six Premier League games and victory over Arne Slot’s side would see them equal their longest-ever winning run of seven matches, set four times previously and most recently in September 1979.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s team have won five of their last six Premier League home matches – more than they had in their previous 21 at the City Ground.

Sixteen of Mohamed Salah’s 18 Premier League goals this season have come in the second half of games. In the competition’s history, only Salah himself has scored more for Liverpool after half-time in a single campaign (18 in 2017-18).

Cody Gakpo has scored in each of the Reds’ last three Premier League games, the longest run of his career in the competition.

Only seven different Dutch players have ever scored in four or more successive appearances in the Premier League, with just one doing so for Liverpool (Dirk Kuyt, who netted in five in a row in 2010-11).

Liverpool are averaging three goals scored per away league fixture so far this campaign, 27 from nine games.

The Reds are one goal away from reaching 200 against Forest in all competitions.

Diogo Jota has scored four goals in four appearances versus Forest in league and cup. His strike against Accrington Stanley on Saturday saw him move into the top 40 Liverpool scorers of all time. He is now level with Alan A’Court on 63 goals.

Nuno’s side have not conceded a goal in their last 387 minutes of top-flight football.
