Will Iraola Make Any Changes? | 4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Nottingham Forest

Liverpool will entertain Nottingham Forest at Anfield this Saturday as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Reds managed to secure a last-gasp 2-2 draw away at Newcastle United recently, so they would be eager to pick up their first win of this campaign this weekend.

Andoni Iraola will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, Alexander Isak will once again lead the line for the Merseyside club up top.

Alisson Becker will function in between the sticks for the Reds after conceding two goals in his last appearance. Virgil Van Dijk will resume his partnership with Jeremy Jacquet at the heart of the Liverpool backline as they focus on keeping the opposition attackers frustrated during the game.

Jeremie Frimpong will hope to catch the eye as the right-back, while Milos Kerkez gets another chance to put in a good performance on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.

Ronald Araujo will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai will anchor the midfield for the Reds as they try to win the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park and engineer some decent chances in the final third.

The talented trio of Cody Gakpo , Florian Wirtz and Rio Ngumoha will play just ahead of them as part of Liverpool's attack. All three of them need to combine well if Liverpool are to secure maximum points at Anfield this weekend.

Alexis Mac Allister and Victor Munoz will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required.

Alexander Isak will spearhead Liverpool's attack up top. He would be eager to put in a good performance versus Nottingham after shooting blanks against his old club, Newcastle, last weekend.

Federico Chiesa will make up the numbers on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if the Reds are in need of a goal.
