Divock Origi may face his former team Liverpool for the first time since leaving in 2022 with his current manager considering him a key option in the attack. Nottingham Forest struggling with goal scoring this season has yet to witness Origi find the net in the Premier League. On loan from AC Milan, Origi has made 14 appearances for Forest and although his starting positions have been limited, he is seen as a versatile solution by manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

Nuno acknowledged Origi’s improvement but didn’t confirm his starting role against Liverpool emphasizing the need for his best performance in their relegation battle. Liverpool aiming to maintain their top position faces a potentially strengthened Forest side. Nuno expects Klopp’s team to be challenging on both ends emphasizing the importance of clinical finishing and defensive awareness against Liverpool’s quality players. While Nuno didn’t reveal potential returning players for Forest, Klopp is expected to provide updates in his press conference.
