Purchase your Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool tickets for this Premier League fixture at the City Ground on Saturday, February 21, 2026 (3:00pm kick-off). Sean Dyche's resurgent Nottingham Forest host defending champions Liverpool in a meeting between two clubs heading in opposite directions this season.

Head-to-Head Record

Liverpool hold the historical advantage in this fixture, winning 60 of 123 all-time meetings against Nottingham Forest's 33 victories, with 30 draws. In the Premier League era, the Reds have won 7 of 16 meetings, with Forest claiming 4 wins and 5 draws. However, Forest have turned this fixture on its head since their return to the top flight in 2022-23. The Tricky Trees have won three of their last five Premier League encounters with Liverpool, including consecutive victories at Anfield in September 2024 and November 2025. Before their recent resurgence, Forest had not won a league game at Liverpool since February 1969, a drought spanning over 55 years.

The Last Meeting: November 2025

Nottingham Forest delivered one of the shocks of the season with a stunning 3-0 victory at Anfield on November 22, 2025, becoming only the fourth visiting team to win at Liverpool's home by three or more goals in Premier League history. The victory was Forest's biggest ever win at Anfield and condemned Liverpool to their sixth Premier League defeat in seven matches. Murillo opened the scoring in the 33rd minute from a corner, his goal controversially allowed to stand despite Dan Ndoye appearing to be in an offside position in front of Alisson. Nicolò Savona doubled the lead just 39 seconds into the second half after Liverpool's defensive chaos, before Morgan Gibbs-White completed the rout in the 78th minute following excellent work from substitute Omari Hutchinson. Jamie Carragher described Liverpool as a side in crisis, while the result represented the first time Liverpool had lost consecutive league games by three or more goals since April 1965 under Bill Shankly.

Nottingham Forest: Sean Dyche's Revival

Nottingham Forest's turbulent season has been transformed under Sean Dyche, their third manager of the campaign. The former Burnley and Everton boss was appointed in October 2025 after Ange Postecoglou was sacked following a winless eight-game spell that saw Forest languishing in the relegation zone. Dyche, a former Forest youth player under Brian Clough, has brought defensive organization and intensity back to the City Ground. Under his guidance, Forest have climbed away from danger and are now competing comfortably in mid-table. The 3-0 victory at Anfield represented the pinnacle of their revival, with Morgan Gibbs-White scoring in three consecutive Premier League games following Dyche's arrival. Forest are also competing in the Europa League for the first time in 29 years, adding European nights back to the City Ground. Key players include defensive rock Murillo, midfield engine Ibrahim Sangaré, and the rejuvenated Gibbs-White.

Liverpool: Defending Champions Under Pressure

Liverpool's remarkable title defence has become an exercise in damage limitation. Arne Slot guided the Reds to their 20th English top-flight title in 2024-25, becoming only the seventh manager to win the league in his first season. However, the 2025-26 campaign has been defined by an alarming autumn collapse that saw nine defeats in 12 matches. Currently sitting fourth and 12 points behind leaders Arsenal at the halfway stage, Liverpool are now fighting to secure Champions League qualification rather than retain their crown. The defeat at home to Forest was a new low in a season of disappointments. Record signing Alexander Isak has struggled for consistency, while Mohamed Salah's departure to the Africa Cup of Nations in mid-December further depleted Slot's attacking options. The Dutchman has publicly admitted that Arsenal and Manchester City are now "quite far away" and has targeted a battle with third-placed Aston Villa for the remaining Champions League spots.
