Match preview
Back in the 70s and 80s, it might not have been that surprising to see Nottingham Forest and Liverpool at the top of the table. But now, these two teams, who always wear red, are some of the main contenders for glory in the 2024-25 season. Their recent midweek match was a good example of this.
Chris Wood scored his 13th Premier League goal of the season in just eight minutes, but Forest then conceded an unexpected goal to Liverpool. Kostas Tsimikas's corner deflected off Diogo Jota's head and into the net.
If it hadn't been for the great saves from Matz Sels and Murillo in defence, Forest might have lost too. Tuesday's draw ended their seven-game winless run, but they're still second in the league, though Arsenal have overtaken them again.
Also, Forest have got more points than any other Premier League team since the start of December, with 19 from 24. Jota's goal was the first one they'd let in in over seven hours of football.
On the other hand, Forest have scored in the first goal in 17 different Premier League games this season, which is the most in the league. Only Fulham have stopped Forest from scoring at home in 2024-25 so far.
