Sky Sports News’ Danyal Khan at the City Ground:
‘Steve Cook has been magnificent today. I spoke to him a few weeks ago after the 4-0 defeat to Leicester and he looked totally broken. To see him command the defence, win his aerial duels and turn into a prime… well Alexander-Arnold actually, for the cross that led the goal…excellent stuff.’
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Liverpool
67: CORNER! Alexander-Arnold swings in another inviting corner. Van Dijk attacks it but a crucial defensive header from Cook clears Forest lines.
GOAL! Nottingham Forest 1-0 Liverpool (Awoniyi, 55)

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Liverpool
45: Awoniyi pins Gomez, holds the ball up and brings Lingard into play, but the offside flag goes up on the near side.

42: Things just aren't clicking for Liverpool in the final third. They've been unable to fire up their usual attacking patterns and an uncertainty while going forward is playing right into Forest's hands.
Can bottom-of-the-table Nottingham Forest cause a huge upset by stopping a resurgent Liverpool in their tracks?
Referee Paul Tierney blows his first whistle, and the hosts get the ball rolling in what is the first meeting between Forest and Liverpool since April 1999.
Kick-off moments away!
