Sat, October 22 Nottingham Forest play host to Liverpool at the City Ground in Nottingham, England. — Liverpool to open the Premier League weekend. 1 hour 30 mins to KO: A half-hour until team news releases at the City Ground. 1 hour to KO: Team news is in, with Nunez and Thiago missing from the squad entirely! 45 mins to KO: Forest have been in a horrendous run of form since their home opener against West Ham in August, which remains their sole victory of 2022/23. We are committed to this style." Liverpool were the defending continental champions heading into that tie, but Brian Clough's men emerged 2-0 winners here en route to winning the trophy themselves. 30 mins to KO: This fixture is of course steeped in history, with the 1978/79 European Cup clash being among the most famous in Forest folklore. The decision was made this morning at 5:15. For Darwin, the game comes too early, he still feels the intensity of the game muscle-wise so there was no chance he could play today.

Even without the injured Darwin Nunez and a benched Trent Alexander-Arnold, the visitors have more than enough to win today. Victory today will take Liverpool ...

No booking for the Forest man, which is perhaps quite fortunate. Victory today will take Liverpool up to fifth, level on points with Manchester United, which is a far rosier picture than just a few weeks ago for last season’s runners-up. Even without the injured Darwin Nunez and a benched Trent Alexander-Arnold, the visitors have more than enough to win today.

That was a reference to the absences of Nunez and Thiago. Nottingham Forest are back in action on Sunday October 30 when they travel to Arsenal in the Premier League; kick-off 2pm. We never ever played before in this formation and the most difficult thing in football is to play against a deep defending side. Awoniyi spent six years on the books at Anfield without playing a single game for the first team. "We are nowhere near where we want to be in the league table or on the points tally that we would have wanted by now. It is a big blow for us because we came here and we wanted to get the three points. "To win a game against Liverpool you have to play well and have big moments, particularly in both boxes. In came the five players who came off the bench in that game. That was nothing compared to the save from Van Dijk in stoppage time, clawing his header away. "Who can we blame for not finishing the situations off? Joe Gomez could not contain Awoniyi and it was from a free kick conceded by the defender that the breakthrough came. The scenes of celebration at full time were extraordinary, belief renewed that Forest can really enjoy rather than merely endure their return to the Premier League.

Liverpool head to Nottingham Forest hoping to take maximum points for the third consecutive Premier League game on the trot.

Nottingham Forest play host to Liverpool at the City Ground in Nottingham, England. 1 hour to KO: Team news is in, with Nunez and Thiago missing from the squad entirely! Liverpool to open the Premier League weekend. 1 hour 30 mins to KO: A half-hour until team news releases at the City Ground. Kouyate got the crowd off their feet early doors with a combination of strength to shrug off two players before the silky feet to get round another. 12th min: First opportunity of the game falls to Firmino, who heads harmlessly wide from a corner having won the aerial battle a little too easily. The Nigerian draws Van Dijk and Gomez together to free up Lingard for the pass, but the playmaker's strike is comfortably saved. A trio of half-chances have frightened Liverpool, who also look lax in possession at the back and are floating aimless balls forward. Van Dijk has a completely free header at the back post, and instead of nodding in, attempts to put it back across goal for Firmino. From the resulting free-kick, the ball goes out to the left flank before coming back in for the Nigerian six yards out. Forest then go straight up the other end and have Gibbs-White teed up in the area, but his strike is blocked by the sliding Milner. 52nd min: Liverpool have certainly started this half with more intent, and are setting up camp in the final third.
