Your support makes all the difference.Just seconds from the end, Darwin Nunez produced one of those uproarious moments that you might usually say was a sign of where the title is going. The evidence of this season, however, suggests it’s going to need many more of them.
Perhaps the greatest significance of this 99th-minute 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest, beyond the vintage late header of such a classic run-in victory, was that Jurgen Klopp’s side kept persevering despite so many absences. They have kept this form going, and still have a number of stars to come back.
The return of a player who is definitely ascending to that kind of level for supporters was the crucial difference here.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp makes four changes from their win over Southampton last time out. Robertson returns from illness, with Konate, Mac Allister and Diaz also coming in to start. Quansah, Tsimikas, McConnell and Koumas start on the bench. The Reds are also boosted by the returns of Endo, Szoboszlai and Nunez from injury, and they're also among the substitutes.

Nuno Espirito Santo makes just three changes to the side that started the late defeat against Manchester United on Wednesday. Omobamidele, Dominguez and Hudson-Odoi are all brought in, with former Liverpool striker, Origi, moving to play up front. Felipe, Danilo and Awoniyi drop to the bench.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
With Manchester City and Arsenal not playing today, Liverpool can move four points clear at the top of the league ahead of their games. They've lost just one of their last 17 games in all competitions (W13 D3), though that did come away from home against the Gunners in the Premier League. The Reds are on a five-match winning run though, following up their EFL Cup victory over Chelsea last weekend with a 3-0 win over Southampton to progress in the FA Cup on Wednesday.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Forest start the day sitting just four points above the relegation zone, and they'll be desperate to put some more space between them and the drop. They've won just two of their 11 games since the start of 2024 (D4 L5), with only one of those victories coming in the league, though that was in their last home match against 10-man West Ham (2-0). The Tricky Trees come into today on the back of their FA Cup fifth-round exit after conceding a late goal to lose 1-0 to Manchester United. They can be buoyed by their record against Liverpool though, having never lost a Premier League home match against the Reds (W3 D3).
