Nottingham Forest are third in the Premier League with the joint second -best defence in the division.

Victory against Liverpool on Tuesday would equal their club record of seven straight top-flight wins.

If they are able to complete the double over the leaders, they will be just three points behind Leicester .

Foxes' 5,000 - 1 title win in 2016 was one of sport's greatest achievements.

Forest have conceded just 19 goals in 20 games - only Arsenal have shipped less.

Matz Sels has faced 259 shots, level with Dean Henderson and only behind Brentford 's Mark Flekken with 342 and Mads Hermansen of Leicester who has faced 287 .

Forest have made the most clearances in the league - 563 - this season.

Nuno has praised the club's spirit, calling them good guys.

Liverpool 's xG of 44.5 is close to double Forest 's and they have scored 35 of their 85 big chances.

Forest have not featured in European competition since 1995-96 during Frank Clark's reign.
