Football Tips: Gakpo amongst the goals in our 14/1 Liverpool v Nottingham Forest Bet Builder

After surviving a scare at St. James’ in their Premier League campaign opener, Liverpool are back on familiar ground this Saturday, as Andoni Iraola steps out for his competitive Reds debut at Anfield.

Dominik Szoboszlai’s late penalty snatched a 2-2 draw on Tyneside, and Iraola admitted there’s work to be done after dodging defeat in his first league game in charge.

Oliver Glasner was less fortunate on his Nottingham Forest debut, as Anton Stach pinched all three points for Leeds United at the City Ground. That sets up nicely for PP tipster Tom Desborough to deliver his Liverpool v Nottingham Forest lunchtime Bet Builder – why not use your FREE Bet Builder this week on it?

Forest were unimpressive in defeat against Leeds last Saturday, and they followed that up with an even more toothless loss to Daniel Farke’s side in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday. A trip to Anfield is the last thing Oliver Glasner’s side needs right now, and I expect it could leave them on zero points from two games.

Both teams to score: Yes

One thing that has been a constant in Iraola’s brief time at Liverpool is both teams getting on the scoresheet. The Reds conceded two or more goals in three of their pre-season games before letting two in at St James’ Park last Sunday.

Iraola’s style of football will leave Liverpool vulnerable to counterattacks, giving Nottingham Forest chances on Saturday. Forest scoring might be easier said than done, but I’m backing them to do so, even if it’s just a consolation.

Cody Gakpo to score

There have been rumours swirling around a potential Liverpool exit for Cody Gakpo this summer, but as we edge closer to the end of
