Liverpool host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this weekend and journalist Lewis Steele has dropped a big claim about their starting XI.
The champions are back in action after the international break on Saturday afternoon, taking on Sean Dyche’s Forest side at Anfield.
It feels like a must-win game for Arne Slot’s Liverpool team, with their title hopes already looking faint, and they need as many key players fit and in form as possible.
According to The Daily Mail‘s Steele, Alisson is expected to start for the Reds this weekend, having not featured since the 1-0 defeat away to Galatasarsay back in September.
A much-needed fitness boost for Liverpool
This is fantastic news for Liverpool, even though Giorgi Mamardashvili has done a solid job in goal in the absence of such an influential figure.
The Brazilian is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world when fit and firing, and he brings an aura between the sticks that few in the game can, making the defence in front of him feel more secure.
Hopefully, Alisson’s return to the team coincides with Liverpool returning to form, following such a disappointing start to their Premier League title defence.
Failure to beat Forest would be another damaging blow for the Reds, further suggesting that all is not well currently, but a resounding win would hopefully mean that a corner has been turned.
