Liverpool to have over 16.5 shots
Liverpool registered 27 shots in their first outing of the campaign against Newcastle (2-2) last weekend and that was the most attempts registered by any team across the Premier League’s opening weekend. Expect more attacking thrust from the Reds against Forest in what will be their Anfield bow under Iraola.
Liverpool's Shot Map vs. Newcastle Last Weekend
Dominik Szoboszlai over 0.5 shots on target
The midfielder had three shots against Newcastle last weekend and scored from the spot with his only effort on target. Only Cody Gakpo (87) had more shots for Liverpool in the Premier League than Szoboszlai (71) last term, though the Hungarian topped the pile for the Reds for total shots on target (23). Szoboszlai, who can threaten from any range, notched 1+ shots on target in 20 separate Premier League appearances overall last season.
Jair Cunha over 1.5 fouls conceded
The no-nonsense Brazilian defender committed two fouls against Leeds on matchday one in the Premier League and another foul against the same opponents in the Carabao Cup in midweek. The 21-year-old was also booked on each occasion. Cunha, who’s been playing on either the right or left side of Oliver Glasner’s three-man defence, can be exposed by pace and Liverpool have plenty of that in attack.
Liverpool over 12.5 fouls conceded
Liverpool conceded a notable 15 fouls in their opener against Newcastle and that figure is likely to set a trend for the campaign. Iraola likes his team to use small, tactical fouls as part of his overall defensive strategy. His former club Bournemouth ranked third in the Premier League last season for average fouls conceded per 90 minutes (12.1), so expect similar from the Reds.
Morgan Gibbs-White over 1.5 shots
Gibbs-White averaged 2.41 shots per 90 minutes for Forest in the league last term and had more attempts in total (83) over the course of the campaign than any of his teammates. The 26-year-old, who registered three attempts against Leeds last time out, also had two shots in each of his two appearances against Liverpool last season.\
