Chris Sutton has predicted how Nuno’s Nottingham Forest will fare against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at the City Ground in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

So, what has Chris Sutton said about Nottingham Forest against Liverpool? Let’s take a look.
Chris Sutton thinks Nottingham Forest will lose to Liverpool
Chris Sutton has been speaking ahead of Saturday afternoon’s Premier League game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
The striker for Chelsea and Aston Villa in the past has supported Liverpool to defeat Forest 2-0 on the road.
Despite claims that Forest is doing better under head coach Nuno, the BBC Sport analyst has pointed out that the team is still losing games and faces the possibility of being demoted to the Championship at the end of the current campaign.
Forest has 24 points from 26 games, which puts them in 17th place in the Premier League standings.Nuno’s team leads Luton Town, who have played 25 games and are in third place, by four points.
With 60 points from 26 games, Liverpool leads the Premier League standings at the moment by one point above second-place City and one point above third-place Arsenal.
There has been a lot of appreciation for Liverpool’s young players this week, and with good reason—after how they performed in the Carabao Cup final and then against Southampton in the FA Cup—Sutton told BBC Sport.
With his team securing the first title of the season under his belt and the prospect of winning four this season remaining alive, Jurgen Klopp has had a fantastic week.
“If players like Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Mohamed Salah are healthy enough to play in this match, it will be even better, and I think Liverpool will be difficult to stop here.”
“Forest was unfortunate to lose to Manchester United in the FA Cup on Wednesday, but they still need to improve if they want to stay in the league, especially because they could face a points deduction that could be revealed the following week.
“I’m hearing all the time how much better Nuno Espirito Santo’s team is offensively. They might have, but it hasn’t shown in the standings because they have only triumphed once this year, and I don’t think they will on Saturday.
“As the season draws to a close, Liverpool has already demonstrated a strong habit of finding a way to win games in recent weeks. This one might be a little simpler because they are now riding the crest of a wave.
“Sutton’s forecast: 0–2.”
