Liverpool will look to record their first win of the season when hosting Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds were made to work for their point at St James' Park last weekend, twice coming from behind to secure a 2-2 draw thanks to a 99th-minute Dominik Szoboszlai penalty.
Forest will be glad to see the back of Leeds United, having twice lost to the West Yorkshire outfit in the space of four days, with the Tricky Trees still looking for their first goal under Oliver Glasner.
Mark Stinchcombe on the Football Betting Club said that he's expecting to see plenty of shots from the hosts.
Liverpool v Nottingham Forest Prediction
Best Bet: Cody Gakpo 1+ shot on target from outside the box @ 11/4
Mark said: "One thing that was prevalent last weekend was the amount of shots liverpool had -- 27 against Newcastle and the amount they had from outside the area: 11.
"Now, Iraola's teams do like to shoot, [Bournemouth] had the fifth most shots last season and they're not afraid to shoot from distance. Marcus Tavernier and Rayan were both in the top 10 last season for shots outside the box across the Premier League, Alex Scott was just outside the top 10 so to have three players given the freedom to shoot from where they wanted to sends the message to me that Iraola is happy for them to have a go from distance.
"It might not be a surprise that Dominik Szoboszlai had the most shots in the league from outside the box last season however he's only 5/6 to have a shot on target from outside the box so I think that's too short to back, so the next obvious candidate is Cody Gakpo.
"We know the modus operandi of Cody Gakpo -- he picks the ball up halfway inside the opposition half, drives to the edge of the box, cuts inside onto his right foot and plays a floaty cross or tries to have a shot. Last weekend he had six shots, four from outside the box. Last season he was averaging 0.8 from outside the box, now compared to Szoboszlai at 5/6, Gakpo is 11/4 to have a shot on target from outside the box, so I think that's the bet for me here.
"Liverpool's shot line here is 17.5 so it's expected they have another good go. We've only got a one-game sample size but 36% of the Forest shots they conceded last week against Leeds came from outside the box, so if Glasner does go with a low block or Forest happen to take the lead and sit back, it will probably encourage Liverpool to take pot shots.
"If Gakpo's having two, three, four shots from outside the box I'd like to think we can get one of those on target."
