Follow live coverage as Liverpool face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League today.
Jurgen Klopp kept faith with the side which demolished Leeds 6-1 on Monday as Liverpool looked to close ground on the top four at home.
That meant Mo Salah was joined in attack by Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo, with Darwin Nunez again on the bench.
Forest boss Steve Cooper, a former Liverpool academy coach, made one change from the defeat to Manchester United with midfielder Orel Mangala coming into the side at the expense of forward Brennan Johnson, who dropped to the bench.

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest
With 15 minutes to go before kick-off, let’s take a look at how the sides are lining up - starting with our hosts.
Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest
Winless since a 1-0 victory over Leeds United at the beginning of February, Nottingham Forest haven’t managed a single point in their last three fixtures. Steve Cooper’s team start the day in the drop zone - level with Everton - though an unlikely three points could see them go as high as 16th; a real sign of the close nature of the relegation battle this season.
Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest
Liverpool have no time to waste if they wish to make next season’s Champions League, with nine points separating Jurgen Klopp’s side in eighth from Newcastle in fourth. A 6-1 thrashing of Leeds last time out ended a four-match winless run in the Premier League, and should give the Reds a boost of confidence as they head into their final eight fixtures.
