Jamie Carragher has suggested that Nottingham Forest could establish themselves as genuine Premier League title contenders if they manage to overcome Liverpool in their upcoming clash.
Nottingham Forest continued their remarkable run of form with a dominant display against Wolves at Molineux on Monday, securing their sixth consecutive league victory.
This impressive streak began with a triumph over Manchester United at Old Trafford and has bolstered their credentials as a force to be reckoned with in the league.
Morgan Gibbs-White opened the scoring early, catching the attention of England manager Thomas Tuchel, who was in attendance.
Chris Wood then doubled Forest’s advantage just before halftime, and Taiwo Awoniyi capped off the performance with a third goal during second-half stoppage time, sealing an emphatic win for the visitors.
The result has propelled Forest to 40 points, level with Arsenal, and they now boast more Premier League wins than the Gunners this season.
Their next challenge comes in the form of a high-stakes encounter against league leaders Liverpool on January 14. Former Liverpool defender and prominent pundit Jamie Carragher believes that a victory in this fixture would firmly place Forest in the title race.
Carragher shared his thoughts on Sky Sports, saying: “If they beat Liverpool they are in the title race. What I would say right now is if the Champions League goes to the top five positions they have got one hell of a chance.”
Before turning their attention to Liverpool, Forest will host Luton Town in the FA Cup third round on Saturday, a game that offers another opportunity to maintain their momentum.
