Slot Points to Pereira Factor Ahead of Forest Clash

Arne Slot acknowledges the difficulty of preparing for Nottingham Forest following their fourth managerial change of the season, with Vitor Pereira now in charge.

Nottingham Forest's constant transition has made tactical analysis challenging for Liverpool's coaching staff. Slot referenced Forest's earlier defeat at Anfield and emphasized how analyzing a team with changing direction is complicated. The Portuguese coach, Vitor Pereira, has only just taken training and his first match comes in the Europa League away at Fenerbahce before facing Liverpool three days later.

From a Liverpool perspective, that Europa League fixture provides valuable information. Slot confirmed he will study that match closely to understand how Forest will set up under their new coach. The Liverpool boss also noted the timing of the European game could work in their favor as Forest must balance Premier League survival with European progression while playing every three days.
