Nottm Forest vs Liverpool

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.
