    Forest put a last-minute chance wide off the free-kick! Can't help but think that might be it for the visitors now...

    GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL FOR LIVERPOOL!! WHAT AN EARTH ARE WE WATCHING!!?? As soon as Forest had re-levelled it was Salah who fires the home side back in front. Trent seems back to his best there, with a great, teasing free-kick. The Egyptian king makes no mistake, volleying it in off the post.

    GOOOAAAALLLLL FOR FOREST!!!! THEY'RE BACK ON LEVEL TERMS!! This time it's Gibbs-White who collects the corner in the middle of the box, before taking an acrobatic volley. Alisson was rooted to the spot with the effort firing past him at the rate of knots. Liverpool only had themselves to blame though, as they left him alone in the danger area, you just can't do that in the Premier League.

    GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL FOR LIVERPOOL!!! Jota with an amazing strike - you'll want to see that one! The Portuguese man cushions down the ball over the top before opening up his body and firing home the volley. The Kop has been sent into delirium once more with Liverpool back in front.

  • 51'
    GOOOOAAAALLL FOR FOREST!!! It's ex-Liverpool man Williams who finds the net after going forward on the break. It was a strong effort from the outside of the box, but Scot Andrew Robertson did his best to block it, only deflecting it past Alisson who could only watch as it flew past him.

  • 47'
    GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL FOR LIVERPOOL!!! It's Diego Jota who's the one who makes the net bulge. After Alexander-Arnold puts one into the box from a teasing corner, it bobbles up onto Fabinho's head, who pops it across the face of goal where the Portuguese forward was lying in wait to put home what will surely be the easiest goal he'll score this season.
  • 47'
    TAA setting himself to take a corner soon into the second half.
  • 46'
    Back underway here in the north of England, let's hope for a more action-packed half.
  • 45'
    HT: Liverpool 0-0 Forest. Bit of a flat first half here, but Liverpool are definitely the ones to have had the best of the few chances. VVD almost nodded one home if it hadn't bee for Navas, while Gakpo's shot was cleared off the line. Let's hope for a better second half.
  • 43'
    Liverpool trying to get ahead before the break, but they've haven't had any recent clear-cut chances.
  • 38'
    Salah cuts inside on the right and gets torn down for a free-kick.
  • 34'
    Robertson earns Liverpool's sixth corner.
  • 31'
    OFF THE LINE! Liverpool inches away from the opener, with Gakpo's shot being cleared off the line. Michael Oliver checks the watch, but nothing given. Remains 0-0.

    Both sets of players being welcomed onto the Anfield pitch here... great game ahead.
  • PRVW
    Just over ten minutes to go here in Liverpool until things are got underway!
  • PRVW
    Just the one change for Forest here, Mangala coming in for Johnson.
  • PRVW
    Identical starting eleven for Liverpool as the one which thrashed Leeds 1-6 last week. Why change a winning formula?

    13 degrees and sunny here in Liverpool for this one, perfect weather for a bit of Premier League action.

    Forest's form leaves a lot to be desired, as they've lost 5 of their last 6 league games...
  • PRVW
    Klopp's side come into this one off the back of thumping Leeds 1-6 five days ago, and they're also buoyed by their good comeback draw against table-toppers Arsenal two weeks ago.
  • PRVW
    Forest POSSIBLE line-ups: Navas; Felipe, McKenna, Niakhate; Williams, Danilo, Mangala, Freuler, Lodi; Johnson, Gibbs-White
  • PRVW
    Liverpool POSSIBLE line-ups: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Gakpo, Jota
