Jurgen Klopp has claimed what he thinks is Nottingham Forest’s biggest strength ahead of the clash against his Liverpool side on Sunday.
The Liverpool boss spoke about Forest and Steve Cooper during his pre-match conference today, highlighting the danger the Reds pose.
Klopp spoke about how Forest beat his Liverpool side 1-0 at the City Ground last season, thanks to a fine finish from former Liverpool man Taiwo Awoniyi.
The Reds did lose 3-2 at Anfield, but Klopp still praised Cooper and his side admitting that they always cause the opposition problems.

Jurgen Klopp on Forest’s biggest strength
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Klopp claimed that Forest’s biggest strength is being able to stay in games.
“I know it will be a really tricky game because I remember back to last year when they beat us away.
“It was a really hard day for us, but credit to Nottingham [Forest] because I think that day we were the better team but you couldn’t see that on the score sheet because they stayed in the game.
“I think that is their biggest strength because whatever happens they stay in the game, score and punish you.
“We need to make sure we’re ready because for sure this will be a tough one.”
Can Forest cause an upset?
Cooper’s side have already beaten Chelsea away from home and caused Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United a scare, by going two goals ahead after just four minutes at Old Trafford.
Although a win on Sunday may be unlikely, the Reds have demonstrated their ability to cause an upset against some of the most successful teams in the Premier League.
