Reds’ manager hails Nuno’s side after lively 1-1 draw‘They are a team than can compete at the top end’
Arne Slot doubled down on his claim that Nottingham Forest are Premier League title contenders after Diogo Jota headed in an equaliser with his first touch in an entertaining draw. Slot has predicted Forest will rival Liverpool to be champions if they keep key players fit. Liverpool lead Forest, up to second, by six points but also have a game in hand on Nuno Espírito Santo’s side.
Forest are the only team to have beaten Liverpool in the league this season, at Anfield in September. Asked about Forest’s chances of gunning for the title, Slot said: “I don’t think they’re up there because of luck. They have been very hard and difficult to play against for every team. They’ve already had a few difficult away games, [Manchester] United away, [Manchester] City away, playing us twice.
