Liverpool's start to 2025 has been far from ideal as they prepare to face third-placed Nottingham Forest, who have the chance to close the gap to just three poi

Arne Slot praised Liverpool’s stirring second-half comeback at Nottingham Forest that proved wrong the half-time message to his players. Substitute Diogo Jota’s strike on 66 minutes wiped out Chris Wood’s early effort to earn the Reds a 1-1 Premier League draw at the City Ground on Tuesday evening.

Overall, a 1-1 draw keeps Liverpool’s cushion ahead of Forest intact, even if Slot will have reservations as he did at Anfield four months ago despite an excellent second half.
