Forest will create great atmosphere - Klopp

Nottingham Forest ended their 10-game winless streak in style as Taiwo Awoniyi returned to haunt former club Liverpool and stop their Premier League revival.

Awoniyi was on the books at Anfield for six years without ever playing for them, but showed Jurgen Klopp what he was all about, securing a famous 1-0 win that lifts Forest off the bottom of the table after his second-half goal.

Forest beat Liverpool at the City Ground in their first ever Premier League match 30 years ago and this victory will be just as memorable as it is their first three points since August and will provide hope that they can make a fist of their return to the big time after picking up just three points from their last 27 available.

Follow all the reaction from the City Ground after Nottingham Forest took on Liverpool in Saturday’s early kick off:

Half-time: Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd

45+1 mins: Close! Fernandes slides the ball over to Antony right on the stroke of half-time and he has to shoot with his right-foot. He pokes an effort at goal and sends it inches wide of the nearest post. Kepa Arrizabalaga seemed beaten but the score remains goalless.

United started as the better side but Chelsea improved after a tactical change from Graham Potter. Lots to play for in the second half.

Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd

44 mins: Nearly! Chelsea have changed the momentum in the game. They win the ball in midfield and send it to Mason Mount who drives into the box and cuts it back to Raheem Sterling.

Sterling turns the ball over to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but Diogo Dalot slides in front of him and the striker loses concentration when bringing the ball under control meaning to rolls past him and goes out of play.

Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd

41 mins: Kovacic drifts in behind Fernandes and Casemiro and collects the ball from a free kick. He plays it up to Raheem Sterling who gets a touch under pressure and rolls the ball to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Aubameyang guides a first time shot towards goal but sends it wide of the far post. That’s immediately better from Chelsea.

Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd

38 mins: That substitution has also brought a change in formation with Chelsea now operating with four at the back and a midfield three of Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

It’s a move designed to get Chelsea more time on the ball in the middle of the pitch.

Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd

35 mins: Chelsea’s whole attacking gameplan has come through the odd counter-attack. They haven’t spent any maintained time on the ball in United’s half at all.

As such Graham Potter makes a change with Marc Cucurella hooked off and Mateo Kovacic brought on.

Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd

32 mins: Chance! Rashford receives the ball on the halfway line and drives it into Chelsea’s half. Thiago Silva knows he’ll be beaten for pace so drops away from the United forward and tries to send him wide.

Rashford rolls the ball onto his right foot and drills one at goal when he gets to the box only for Kepa to fall way to his right and pushing the ball clear!

Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd

29 mins: Save! Casemiro nicks the ball off Ruben Loftus-Cheek and slides it over to Bruno Fernandes. The United captain threads the ball into the box and finds Marcus Rashford but his first touch isn’t great.

The ball rolls a little away from him and when he recovers it Kepa Arrizabalaga has charged him down and makes a solid body stop once Rashford takes the shot.

Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd

26 mins: A dink into the box from Antony bounces awkwardly and Kepa Arrizabalaga fumbles it behind for a corner. Christian Eriksen plays it short to Bruno Fernandes who gives it back to Eriksen.

The Dane sends a pass to Jadon Sancho and he weaves into the box but United continue to knock it around and eventually give it away.

Somebody take a shot!

Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd

23 mins: Free kick to Man Utd. This one is close to 30-yards out from goal and it’s Marcus Rashford who takes it. He drills it low but sees his effort deflected off a lone defender just as it gets into the box.

Not the greatest of free kicks.
