Premier League leaders Liverpool got everything they wanted (and a bit more) from top-4 hopefuls Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, as the Reds erased an early deficit en route to a 1-1 draw at the City Ground.

Liverpool picked up a point on the road as they drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest at the City ground in the Premier League on Tuesday. Forest scored with their first attack when Chris Wood finished clinically from Anthony Elanga's through ball in the eighth minute after Liverpool had lost the ball in midfield.

While Diogo Jota scored with his first touch just 22 seconds after coming off the bench – it is Liverpool's fastest substitute goal on record (since 2006-07) in a Premier League match.

The two definite Liverpool absentees against Forest are Darwin Nunez and Joe Gomez. The former is suspended after picking up five yellow cards and the latest on the defender is he is "quite far" away from fitness, as revealed by Slot in the pre-match press conference.

It's a crucial game in the English Premier League title race, as table-topping Liverpool take on third-placed Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.  Forest are this season's surprise package, with Nuño Espírito Santo's team just two places and 6 points behind their opponents today.
