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:

Niakhate and Henderson get into a shoving match off the pitch during a Forest throw-in, with the Liverpool captain not willing to let his opponent restart play. The two get into each other’s faces and pushing ensues before the referee de-escalates the situation without producing a card.
