While Liverpool will take some stopping, Forest are in title contention because they are just six points behind with over half the season done. Even if the trophy is out of reach, a place in the Champions League remains well within their grasp.

If Liverpool are to win the Premier League title this season then it will be their power from the bench – and with their forwards – that will drive them there.

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.
