Follow all the action from Anfield
Follow live coverage as Liverpool face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League today.
Jurgen Klopp kept faith with the side which demolished Leeds 6-1 on Monday as Liverpool looked to close ground on the top four at home.
That meant Mo Salah was joined in attack by Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo, with Darwin Nunez again on the bench.
Forest boss Steve Cooper, a former Liverpool academy coach, made one change from the defeat to Manchester United with midfielder Orel Mangala coming into the side at the expense of forward Brennan Johnson, who dropped to the bench.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

The latest Liverpool corner-kick is a dangerous effort swung in by Alexander-Arnold, with the ball allowed to bounce inside the six-yard box after Awoniyi’s failed clearance. It’s a nervy moment for the visiting defence but Williams clears the initial danger before a Mangala block on a Salah shot allows Forest to get back up the pitch.

Liverpool have started the match ponderously, knocking it about in midfield slowly looking for the openings in Forest’s low block. The hosts will have to be patient and controlled if they wish to successfully test Navas, with the back three lining up just inside their own penalty area.
