The real action begins on Matchday 27, the latest chapter in the incredible race for the Premier League title.
Despite mounting injuries and a busy schedule, Liverpool remain at the top of the table, one point ahead of Manchester City.
To maintain this lead, the Reds need to improve on their record of not winning any of their last six Premier League matches played at the City Ground. This is the most times Liverpool have visited a team without a win in this competition.
Jurgen Klopp's side have scored 11 goals in their last three league games and will be hoping to continue their scoring streak.
Forest, coached by Nuno Espirito Santo, have a history but things haven't been easy for them of late, with just one win and one place outside the relegation zone in 2024. Securing three more points against Liverpool at home could be crucial. They seek safety.
Arsenal will need to deal with a fixture against Sheffield United in order to stay close to Liverpool and Man City in the title race, or move up the table if either team fails.
The Gunners are firing on all cylinders, scoring 25 goals in their last six league games. They travel to Sheffield to face a side who have conceded goals at an historic level, setting the stage for another potential defeat for Mikel Arteta's side.
In the title race, where goal difference is key, Arsenal maintain a +1 lead over Liverpool and a +6 advantage over Man City. Scoring a few more goals than the Blades could be essential to maintaining that lead at the end of the season.
The road to getting out of the relegation zone is getting tougher for Sheff United, who are currently 11 points behind Nottingham Forest in 17th place. But an improbable upset against Arsenal could be a turning point in the season.
