The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
Liverpool host Nottingham Forest on Sunday and emotions will be running high at Anfield, after the news that the parents of star forward Luis Diaz were kidnapped in Colombia. Diaz is naturally left out of the team as the club support his welfare.
In on-pitch matters, Liverpool are in the top four and can move to within three points of league leaders Spurs with a win, while Forest can go 11th if they cause an upset - though they’ve only won once on the road so far this term.

To accommodate the alteration in shape, Niakhate is preferred to Toffolo while Aina replaces Chris Wood. The New Zealand international is absent altogether having netted both of Forest's goals against the Hatters.
