"Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is only the 12th manager to enjoy a run of 20 consecutive unbeaten Premier League matches (W8 D12), though he is the first to do so across spells with two different clubs (18 with Bournemouth, 2 with Liverpool). Liverpool have failed to win either of their opening two Premier League games in a season (D2) for only the second time in the last 14 seasons, also doing so in 2022-23 when they started with two draws.
"The beginning of the journey and this performance will give us confidence. Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White has scored all five of the penalties he's taken in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest's Dan Ndoye scored his first Premier League goal since netting on his debut against Brentford last August – this ended a run of 24 games without a goal.
