Even Arne Slot has conceded the Reds’ Premier League form is different to what fans are seeing from them in the Champions League.
Next up is a meeting with Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday, before away trips to Sunderland and Nottingham Forest later this month.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool fixture date and kick-off time changed
Now, the Premier League have confirmed in an official statement via their website that the date and kick-off time for the Forest clash has been changed.
The fixture was originally scheduled to take place on a Saturday, but has now been moved to Sunday, February 22.
The Premier League wrote: “Nottingham Forest’s UEFA Europa League playoff match on Thursday 19 February has led to their home Premier League fixture against Liverpool being moved from Saturday 21 February to Sunday 22 February (14:00 GMT kick-off).”
For those supporters not travelling to the ground, the date change means that the game will now be shown live on Sky Sports in the UK, whereas the 3pm blackout would have been in place on Saturday.

Where will Liverpool finish in the Premier League this season?
Before Forest, Liverpool have the small task of getting results against Man City and Sunderland.
Pep Guardiola’s side are still in the title race and have already beaten the Reds once this season.
Sunderland, meanwhile, have started to drop more points in recent weeks, but they are only six points adrift of Liverpool with a game in hand.
At present, Slot’s side are sixth in the top flight, two points behind Manchester United.
Despite this, Opta’s supercomputer predicts that the Merseyside outfit will end the campaign 4th ahead of the Red Devils and Chelsea.
