The fight at the top of the Premier League is as tight and exciting as it can be, as the top three teams are at 60, 59, and 58 points, which means that a slip from one of them could either result in a new leader or make a gap between them.
In this context, we’ll have an eye-catching match between a club fighting for relegation in Nottingham Forest, and the leader, Liverpool.

Why Bet on Nottingham Forest?
Nottingham Forest will be hosting this clash, but the 17th-placed team has not much going their way. Their season showcases six wins, six draws, and 14 losses. As a result, they have a 4-point margin from the bottom three teams, so they are at least slightly clear from the relegation zone.
The Tricky Trees have been in poor form both in their Premier League season, as well as their last five matches, having three losses, a draw, and a win in the previous few weeks.
Even though they will be at home for this clash, the team has conceded way too many goals over the ones they have dealt, which is a problem against any regular team, and will be a nail in the coffin as they play the scoreboard’s leader in their next clash.
Why Bet on Liverpool?
The visitors for this clash are the current leaders, Liverpool, who are on a 3-match win streak and sporting a record of 18 wins, six draws, and two losses in their campaign. They are also boasting the second-highest goal differential this season (only under Arsenal’s by a margin of 1 goal).
The Reds are giving a masterclass on how to lead the scoreboards at this point, being the team with the least losses in the campaign, and also being the ones to have scored the highest amount of goals so far.
Besides that, they are doing excellent when it comes to their defense and have picked the pace back up, getting up to a three-match win streak after their last loss.
The team is looking to give another excellent performance in this clash.
Nottingham Forest vs. Liverpool Final Betting Analysis:
Nottingham Forest may be able to put their best into this match as they are going to be playing in front of their home crowd, but that may not be enough against a pretty tough Liverpool who not only leads the scoreboard but is also on great momentum with that three matches win streak.
In the end, we believe Liverpool will not only take the win but will showcase their offensive game and manage to take over the first spot of best goal differential in the league making short work of Nottingham Forest as they do so. We’ll go for a 0-3.
Go for a victory for the visitors at 1.581. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $58.1 for a total payout of $158.1.
