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 ball breaks for Mangala on the edge of Liverpool’s penalty area, with the midfielder immediately shaping to curl an effort into the top corner. It’s a decent attempt but it fails to bend back towards the target as Alisson can watch it go by for a goal-kick.

Johnson twists and turns to earn an inch of space ahead of Robertson before sending a flat cross into the penalty area. Mangala gets on the end of it and manages to direct a backwards header towards goal but it’s easy pickings for Alisson.
