Liverpool boss Slot insists Nottingham Forest ‘deserve’ to be treated as Premier League title contenders
A SOLD-OUT City Ground will be the place to be tonight, when Nuno Espirito Santo’s side host Arne Slot’s table toppers, only six points behind the Anfield outfit in third spot.
After successfully avoiding relegation last year, Forest have lost a mere four times in 20 league matches this term — with Nuno’s side the only team to have beaten Liverpool in the Premier League so far, after their eye-catching 1-0 victory on Merseyside back in September.
“I’ve always said you can judge the table best halfway through the season,” said Liverpool boss Slot, previewing the match.
