Liverpool team news

Andoni Iraola marks his first game at Anfield by making two changes. Victor Munoz gets his full debut on the right wing, with Rio Ngumoha dropping out, while Alexis Mac Allister starts in midfield.

Liverpool v Nottingham Forest

Forest meanwhile have suffered two straight defeats to Leeds, in the top flight and in the Carabao Cup, in a poor start to Oliver Glasner’s time at the helm.

But Forest have only lost one of their last four meetings with Liverpool, so this could be the game to end that losing streak….
