Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Despite seeing over 85 per cent of the ball with just under 10 minutes to play in the first half, Liverpool have only mustered one more shot on target than their opponents. There’s no doubt the hosts have been the better, more positive of the two sides but as it stands they remain level on the score sheet.

Liverpool are up to their sixth corner of the half but again the hosts fail to use set-pieces to their advantage. Robertson’s far-post effort meets the head of Van Dijk, whose effort is blocked from close range. The ball breaks to Salah on the right-edge of the penalty area but his curled effort to the far post sails well wide.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 23 home league games against Nottingham Forest (W18 D5), since a 2-0 loss in February 1969.

CLEARED OFF THE LINE! Alexander-Arnold’s latest corner falls to the foot of Gakpo, standing 10 yards away from Navas’ target. The striker hurries a shot that rolls underneath the goalkeeper and looks to nestle into an empty net if not for Williams’ crucial clearance to prevent a certain goal!

Confirmation of the enforced change on the half-hour mark, with Worrall stepping into the defence to replace the injured McKenna.

Play is stopped for McKenna ahead of Liverpool's corner-kick, with the player seemingly injuring his shoulder during the earlier set-piece. The centre-back is down receiving treatment on the pitch while Cooper readies a substitute on the touchline.

PHENOMENAL SAVE! INCREDIBLE! Alexander-Arnold swings the free-kick into the penalty area with trademark accuracy, finding the charging Van Dijk at the back post. The centre-back gets the better of McKenna and powers a header high towards goal from point-blank range but the Costa Rica international throws himself at the ball and manages to tip it just over the crossbar!
