Nottingham Forest took four points off Liverpool last season, including being the only team to win at Anfield in the Premier League. With their form having improved under Sean Dyche and Liverpool’s own performances remaining under scrutiny, the Tricky Trees can leave Merseyside with another positive result.

Tranmere might be the value to overcome the difference in league positions when they host MK Dons on Saturday. The hosts are 16th and the visitors third, but a Tranmere victory is the best bet.

Juventus are on a four-game unbeaten run, but they’ve conceded in three of those matches. The Old Lady meet a Fiorentina side who are bottom after an 11-game winless stretch, while la Viola have lost five of their six clashes with the top seven, including scoring in home defeats to Roma, Napoli, and Como.

Mallorca have lost all but one of their six meetings with the top seven, so back third-placed Villarreal to cruise to three points after impressing at home. The hosts have scored 16 times in six home games, winning five.

PSG have won all but one of their home games in Ligue 1, while Le Havre have lost each of their clashes with the top six. The visitors have scored in three of those defeats, while PSG have conceded in seven of their last nine.

Eintracht Frankfurt look the stronger, more reliable side and should take advantage of Cologne’s ongoing defensive issues. The hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 of their last 20 Bundesliga home games, while Eintracht have lost just one of their last six and continue to offer consistent threat in the final third. With Frankfurt scoring in 14 of their last 16 league matches, they hold the clear edge.

Newcastle endured a difficult start to the season, but they have won four of their last six matches and each of their last five home games. They could upset the odds against a Manchester City side that have lost two of their five Premier League away games this season.

Lens look well positioned for another home win after dismantling Monaco 4-1 last time out. They’ve won six of their last eight in Ligue 1 and are riding a five-match winning streak at home. Strasbourg arrive out of sorts, winless in three away games and conceding heavily on the road, which plays straight into Lens’ attacking strengths.

Rangers have got their act together in the Scottish Premiership and are looking for a fourth successive league win here, but Livingston could still make their mark at Ibrox. The visitors have found the net in six of their last seven games and pushed the Gers all the way when they met in September.

Breda’s three wins this season have all come at home but they should be outclassed by leaders PSV, who have won all six of their away games. Both teams have scored in PSV’s last six matches, though, and that trend could continue.

USG have won all of their home league games by two clear goals this term, while Cercle Brugge have struggled to score goals on the road. The hosts should cruise to another victory as they look to pull away at the top of the table.

Bastia are rock bottom of Ligue 2 and have picked up just two points from seven away games this season, failing to score a single goal on their travels. Annecy have scored in six of their seven home matches and have only lost one of them, while they beat St Etienne 4-0 here at the end of October.

Zulte Waregem have the fifth best away record in the Belgian top flight and head to Liege unbeaten in their last five away games, while Standard Liege have only won three of their seven at home this season.

Grenoble have won three of their last four away games and face Ligue 2’s second-worst home side, with Boulogne losing five of their seven home league games this season. They have scored seven goals in their last four home matches, though, so they may get on the scoresheet against a visiting side that have conceded in seven of their eight on the road.

Lygnby are top of the Danish 1st Division and have taken ten points from the last 12 available on home turf, while Esbjerg have lost four of their last five league away games.

Hoffenheim are one of the Bundesliga’s form teams and they had to Mainz seeking a fifth straight win. Christian Ilzer’s side have the second best road record in the league, behind only Bayern Munich, and they look well placed to overcome struggling Mainz, who have seven defeats and just one win after 10 rounds of fixtures.

Nice haven’t lost at home in Ligue 1 since the opening round of fixtures and they can at least deny title contenders Marseille maximum points on Friday. L’OM have lost their last two trips to this venue, and have a mixed road record this term with three wins and three defeats.

Bastia are rock bottom of Ligue 2 and have picked up just two points from seven away games this season, failing to score a single goal on their travels. Annecy have scored in six of their seven home matches and have only lost one of them, while they beat St Etienne 4-0 here at the end of October.

This is a meeting between the second and third worst defences in La Liga as Levante have conceded 23 goals in 12 games and Valencia have shipped 21. Valencia have only failed to score in one of their six home games, while both teams have scored in each of Levante’s last four outings across all comps, so goals at both ends could well be on the cards in the Derbi Valenciano. The hosts have beaten Athletic Bilbao and Getafe here this season, though, and have a great record in this derby fixture.

Both teams have scored in six of Le Mans’ seven away games this season and the same may happen against a Pau side that have scored five and conceded three in their last three fixtures.

Seven of Silkeborg’s last nine games have featured goals at both ends and both teams have scored in three of their last four at home, while Aarhus have seen both teams find the net in all eight away games this season.

Kohr has five yellow cards to his name in the Bundesliga this season, a joint-high across Europe’s top five leagues. Kohr has made the second-most fouls for Mainz in the league this term, while he has also been booked in the Conference League and German Cup.

Hillen missed NAC Breda’s last game through suspension, after racking up his fifth caution of the Eredivisie campaign in just 10 appearances. His side host PSV on Saturday, with the Dutch giants winning six of their last seven games in emphatic fashion.

Donnum picked up four bookings across a five-game stretch between late August and early October. He has been booked in three of his six home appearances this term, and faces an Angers side who have lost only once in their last five games.

Lozano is one of only two players across Europe’s top five leagues to commit more than 30 fouls so far this season. Sevilla rank sixth in La Liga for fouls committed by opponents this term, while they lead the league in bookings with 41. Their games tend to get fiery, so there’s value in targeting a player who stands out across the continent for his fouls this season to pick up another card.

Hoffenheim have scored exactly three goals in each of their last four Bundesliga games and can keep that run going with a 3-1 win at Mainz, who have scored in four of their last five home games across all competitions.

The last three head-to-heads between these two at Deepdale have ended in stalemate and given the stakes in this Lancashire derby, a repeat of that is the selection, particularly as Preston have drawn five of their 15 league matches.

Fisnik Asllani is Hoffenheim’s leading scorer this season with five goals and he can add to his tally at Mainz, having scored for Kosovo in their victory over Slovenia over the international break.

Levante’s Karl Etta Eyong stands out as a contender for an anytime goal. The 22-year-old has six goals and three assists to his name in La Liga this season, meaning he’s scored over a third of his side’s 16 league goals.

Zulte Waregem have the fifth best away record in the Belgian top flight and head to Liege unbeaten in their last five away games, while Standard Liege have only won three of their seven at home this season.

Levante’s only wins have come at their fellow bottom three sides, while they’ve scored in six of their first seven away games. The defensive solidity Valencia found at the end of last term has abandoned them, with the club conceding in six of their last seven. However, only third-placed Villarreal have shut them out at home.

Marseille have lost three of their first four visits to top-half sides. Rivals Nice should pose a tough test, especially as the hosts have scored 10 times in six home games so far. The visitors have scored 28 goals in 12 league matches, so back both teams to score.

Liverpool’s defensive issues have led to five defeats in six league games, so Forest should cause problems at Anfield again. Sean Dyche’s side have beaten Leeds 3-1 and drawn 2-2 with Manchester United across their last two league games. Arne Slot’s side have scored in all five of their home league games this term, while Forest are yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels.

Sunderland have scored and conceded in each of their last three following a 2-2 draw with Arsenal. Hosts Fulham have lost five of their last six matches, but home wins over Brentford, Leeds, and Wolves suggest they can be competitive in this one.

Aston Villa have kept only one clean sheet on their travels so far this season, but they head into this game with five wins from six in the league. Leeds have scored in four of their five home league games, but they’ve lost four of their last five in the Premier League.

Defensive issues continue to plague AC Milan, who drew 2-2 at Parma in their last game. Inter have conceded at home to Sassuolo and Cremonese, while they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Udinese. AC Milan haven’t failed to score at San Siro this season, but both teams have scored in four of their last five Serie A matches.

Ian: Killie have conceded 14 times across their five straight defeats, while they’ve won once in six at home. Motherwell impressed ahead of the international break and they’re backed for all three points.

Dan: Leyton Orient have been impressive in front of goal this term, so back them to have too much for a Blackpool side who are struggling with injuries and in the drop zone.

Gareth: Portsmouth have claimed only two points from their last six matches, while Millwall have impressed on the road and they head to Fratton Park in solid form.

Joe: Wolves have lost nine of their first 11 Premier League games, while they face a strong Palace side who have won three of their last four.

Alex: Lens are only two points off the top in Ligue 1 and they’re backed to add to their return of five wins from six at home this term.

Aaron: Bologna have gone unbeaten in eight Serie A games, while they’ve won four of their last six. Udinese have lost four of their five meetings with top-half sides this term, including a 3-0 thumping at home to AC Milan.
