Follow live coverage as Liverpool face Nottingham Forest today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Liverpool FC - Nottingham Forest FC
Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest
14:58Well, Liverpool lost this exact fixture 1-0 last season, and it was the only league game in which they failed to score all season. Will we see a repeat here today? Both sides will be determined to dispel some ropey results in their recent past from before the international break. Out they come now onto the turf to a great reception, led by today's chief official, Andy Madley.

14:51As they say, if it ain't broke... Sean Dyche has decided not to make any changes to his Nottingham Forest side that beat Leeds 3-1 last time out.

14:46Liverpool’s Arne Slot has made five changes to the side that were beaten 3-0 by Man City in their last Premier League game. Alisson returns from injury to start in goal, while Milos Kerkez, Curtis Jones, Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo start. Intriguingly, this is set to be Mohamed Salah’s 300th Premier League appearance for Liverpool today. He is the fifth player to reach that figure for the Reds, after Jamie Carragher (508), Steven Gerrard (504), Jordan Henderson (360), and Sami Hyypia (318).

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest
14:30Struggling to live up to the stylish league title of last term, Liverpool have seemingly found themselves at the end of a fine honeymoon period with Arne Slot. They look to get back to winning ways after the international period today against Nottingham Forest after being beaten consummately 3-0 by Manchester City. The gap between the reigning champions and leaders Arsenal now stands at eight points, with Slot's men mathematically as close to the relegation zone as they are to the Gunners in the rankings. The ‘Tricky Trees’ have unfortunately been rooted to the bottom three in the first half of this top-flight campaign, and are also looking to reinject some form into the collective veins. It’ll help that their last PL outing saw them dispatch Leeds United 3-1 at the City Ground, although the Garibaldi remain one of four sides yet to win away from home in the first division this season. Forest worked their magic against Liverpool last season to take four points from their two meetings, and the visitors today could now go unbeaten in three league games against the Reds for the first time since 1993, when only three members of Sean Dyche’s current squad were alive.
