Slot acknowledged that preparing for Vitor Pereira's side is far from straightforward, referencing Forest's fourth managerial change of the campaign. The Dutchman noted that Liverpool only has Forest's Europa League match against Fenerbahce to analyze how the new manager will set up.
However, Slot suggested the timing of Forest's European fixture might actually work in Liverpool's favor, as Pereira admitted he cannot drastically change his system while playing every three days. This gives Liverpool valuable information to analyze personnel choices, formation and pressing approach before their own match against the struggling side.
