NOTTINGHAM Forest defender Neco Williams knows how “special” next week’s Premier League game against Liverpool will be. 

Forest extended their winning streak to six games with a 3-0 triumph at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday evening, with goals from Morgan Gibbs-White, Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi opening the door for a surprise title challenge. 

That moved Nuno Espirito Santo’s team six points behind leaders Liverpool, who visit the City Ground next Tuesday in a clash which could determine whether Forest are genuine title contenders. 

Williams told BBC Radio Nottingham: “We are still only halfway through the season; we have still got a lot more to give. 

“We are just taking each game as it comes. For us now the focus is on Luton in the Football Association Cup. Then it is Liverpool, which will be a tough test, but the confidence is flowing through the group now and hopefully we can carry on that winning form. 

“It will be special for the whole team. We are up there. We are the only team to beat them this season, so hopefully we can do that again. 

“But it’s going to be tough. We know how good they are. They are probably one of the best teams in the world right now. With our confidence, our winning form and our 12th man, which is the fans, if that all comes together then we will have a chance, he said.” 

Wolves lost for the first time under boss Vitor Pereira and the Portuguese wants to move into the transfer market to cover a lengthy absentee list. 

“If we want to be honest, we know and everybody knows, that we need some positions,” Pereira said. 

“We need to bring players to help us, more solutions to face this league, and the club is working. 

“I believe that the players will come – not too many players, because I don’t want too many, but we need to recover our players as soon as possible and to bring two or three players to balance the team.” – Nampa/AFP
