Player(s) to watch:

• Morgan Gibbs-White, the 24-year-old attacking midfielder from Staffordshire, has been a pivotal figure for Nottingham Forest since his move from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2022. With 88 appearances and 14 goals to his name, Gibbs-White has emerged as a linchpin in Forest’s impressive campaign, playing a vital role in their rise as strong contenders for the Premier League title this season. Having also contributed significantly to the England national team, Gibbs-White continues to showcase his versatility and flair on the field. As Forest prepare for their high-stakes clash against Liverpool, the young prodigy will be eager to leave his mark, inspiring his side in what promises to be a crucial encounter at the City Ground.
• Andrew Robertson, the 30-year-old Scottish left-back from Glasgow, has been a cornerstone of Liverpool’s defense and attack since joining the club in 2017. Before his move to Anfield, Robertson showcased his talent with Queen’s Park, Dundee United, and Hull City, where he made close to 100 appearances. Over his illustrious tenure at Liverpool, Robertson has become indispensable, amassing 236 appearances and scoring 10 goals, while also excelling as a creative force on the left flank. Known for his relentless overlapping runs and pinpoint crosses, Robertson remains a key figure in Liverpool’s tactical setup, seamlessly transitioning from the Jürgen Klopp era to Arne Slot’s regime. As the Reds prepare for their upcoming clash, Robertson will aim to orchestrate swift counterattacks and deliver incisive passes into the penalty area, further solidifying his reputation as one of the Premier League’s most dynamic full-backs.
