Nottingham Forest v Liverpool: Premier League – live

Vitor Pereira is the third new Nottingham Forest manager this season and was applauded as he walked out at the City Ground after a midweek Europa League win. A late warm-up issue saw Wirtz ruled out and Curtis Jones step in for Liverpool. Forest pressed from the start, Anderson producing tidy control and Hudson-Odoi prominent as the hosts dominated possession.

Alisson made a smart save from Hudson-Odoi, Virgil van Dijk and Anderson clashed heads but were reported OK, and Gibbs-White picked up a booking after a free-kick incident as Murillo and others tested Liverpool’s defence. Arne Slot said Dominic Szoboszlai needed to cover at full-back because of absences and warned that conceding set-pieces makes winning very difficult.

Pereira urged organisation, commitment and a clear identity, asking his players to run, win duels and express quality when in possession.
