Awoniyi has three goals and two assists, whereas Elanga has one goal and one assist in the league so far.
Nottingham Forest have conceded (12 goals) more than they have scored (10 goals) this season, and if they are to have any chance of beating Liverpool, they will have to change this fact.

Liverpool's been dishing out some pretty good football this season, and it shows in their place in the table. According to the win predictor, they've got a solid 75% chance of coming out on top in this game. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, is hanging around with only a 10% shot at winning.
Remember, though, Nottingham Forest pulled off something pretty special last year when they edged out Liverpool 1-0 in a Premier League match. If they're thinking about doing it again a year later, they'll need to work their socks off in the lead-up to this game. But, when you look at their current form and the overall strength of the team, it's hard not to favor Liverpool to sail through this test without too many bumps.
Liverpool's looking a whole lot stronger this season compared to their injury-plagued side from last year, and when they're playing at home, well, they're about as tough as they come
