Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest live score, updates, lineups and result from Premier League clash

ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL — Liverpool find themselves in the midst of a kind run of Premier League fixtures in which they do not face a side higher than 10th in the table.

And, following victory over rivals Everton last time out, there will be high hopes among Kopites that Sunday's home outing against 15th-placed Nottingham Forest brings with it another three points.

However, Steve Cooper's visitors have only tasted defeat in one of their last five games - away to reigning champions Manchester City - and beat Liverpool when the sides met this time last year.

As such, there is every chance that a tough test awaits Jurgen Klopp and his team as they look to keep a strong start to the new season going.

Lineups:

Liverpool lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas — Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch — Salah, Nunez, Jota

Nottingham Forest lineup (5-4-1, right to left): Turner (GK) — Aina, Aurier, Boly, Niakhate, Murillo— Gibbs-White, Sangare, Mangala, Dominguez — Elanga.

9th min: Jota rises highest to head a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner goalward but it's not troubling Turner in the Forest goal. 

Moments later, Elanga drags a shot wide after being played in behind, but the flag goes up for for offside. 

6th min: Liverpool on the front foot from the off here, with Nunez causing plenty of trouble with runs in behind.

No clear cut chances to speak of just yet, but Forest have their backs to the wall.

5 mins to kickoff: Here come the teams at Anfield as we close in on kick-off.
