Salah gives the ball away and Forest surge forward. Two passes, the second a slide-rule pass from Elanga, and Chris Wood, who else, is through - he strikes it early with his left foot from the left of the goal and it flies into Alisson’s far corner. Superb finish.

The two definite Liverpool absentees against Forest are Darwin Nunez and Joe Gomez. The former is suspended after picking up five yellow cards and the latest on the defender is he is "quite far" away from fitness, as revealed by Slot in the pre-match press conference.

It's a crucial game in the English Premier League title race, as table-topping Liverpool take on third-placed Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.  Forest are this season's surprise package, with Nuño Espírito Santo's team just two places and 6 points behind their opponents today.
