Nottm Forest preview: Won last six in the league
Nuno Espírito Santo and Morgan Gibbs-White made a return to Molineux for Nottingham Forest's last outing in the Premier League.
Forest ran out convincing 3-0 winners in the end and Gibbs-White opened the scoring against his former club after just seven minutes. Chris Wood added a second goal just before the break and Taiwo Awoniyi made it 3-0 in stoppage time.
A thigh injury looks set to keep Ibrahim Sangare out of action for Forest until mid-February.
Predicted lineup: Sels (GK), Aina, Milenkovic, Williams, Murillo, Anderson, Gibbs-White, Domínguez, Wood, Hudson-Odoi & Elanga

Liverpool preview: Held by Manchester United
Liverpool were expected to make light work of Manchester United when the pair locked horns last week.
However, a goalless first half surprised the home fans and they were left stunned when United took the lead in the 52nd minute. Normal order was restored, though, as Codey Gakpo and Mo Salah scored to put Liverpool 2-1 up with 20 minutes left on the clock. United did manage to equalise in the 80th minute and both teams had chances to win the game but the game ended in a 2-2 draw.
Joe Gomez is expected to make his return from injury next month but Arne Slott has almost a full-strength squad to choose from this week.
Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), van Dijk, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Jones, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Gakpo & Díaz

Player to watch: Morgan Gibbs-White
The form of Morgan Gibbs-White this season has attracted some much-welcomed attention from England and Manchester City who are thought to be keen on signing the Forest star.
The former Wolves midfielder has four goals and three assists in the Premier League so far this season and he has scored in each of his last two appearances in the league.
Gibbs-White has been in great form of late
We're backing Gibbs-White to put in another top performance for Forest this week, one which could help guide his team to a positive result against the league leaders.
