Liverpool have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to four points when they face Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.
With Manchester City in action on Sunday and Arsenal playing on Monday, Liverpool could put extra pressure on their title rivals with victory Forest. Despite what seems a never-ending list of injury issues, the Reds have continued to motor on, with youngsters Jayden Danns and Lewis Koumas scoring in a 3-0 win over Southampton in the FA Cup on Wednesday night.
That victory set up a clash with Manchester United in the quarter-finals, which will be squeezed into an already extremely tight schedule. But for now, all attention is on the clash at the City Ground on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp's side emerged 3-0 winners in the meeting between the two teams earlier this season, though the last clash in Nottingham saw them lose 1-0 to Forest.
So can Liverpool move further clear at the top of the table on Saturday? Let's take a look.
