“That would be the dumbest thing we can do. It doesn’t happen on purpose. You don’t win a game and want to score eight goals and it happens.

Wood has scored 12 goals for Forest in the Premier League this season, with only Stan Collymore (22 in 1994/95) and Bryan Roy (13 in 1994/95) netting more in a single campaign for them; the New Zealander was the first Forest player to net in four consecutive appearances in the competition since Taiwo Awoniyi in August 2023 (7 in a row).

Jurgen Klopp says it will be “super tricky” for Liverpool to win the Premier League title after they surrendered top spot to Arsenal this weekend.

Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at Manchester United on Sunday leaves them behind Arsenal on goal difference, and only a point above third-placed Manchester City with only seven matches remaining for all three title contenders.

Klopp says, however, that trying to better Arsenal’s goal difference in the remaining matches would be unwise, and that he is “absolutely fine” with his team being second at this stage of the season.

“Look, you will – and people, our supporters as well – tell us [Arsenal] have the better goal difference and now we have to go for that,” Klopp said.

“That would be the dumbest thing we can do. It doesn’t happen on purpose. You don’t win a game and want to score eight goals and it happens.

“We are who we are, we are how we are and that is why we are in the race and I am absolutely fine with that. I knew it would be super tricky until the end. That’s all. Again, until yesterday, we were top of the table and now it is Arsenal.

“We want to be there after 38 [games], after the last matchday. It’s always better to be there the whole time and get some distance between you [and the other teams]. We are fine with our situation. I wish we would have more points, but I am absolutely fine – and I am actually over the moon these boys brought us into that situation. The same boys that missed a few chances today are the boys who brought us 71 points, so I am absolutely fine with that.”
