Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest LIVE! Premier League result, match stream, latest updates today

A superb second-half goal from substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi gave Nottingham Forest the biggest surprise win of the Premier League season so far as they beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield on Saturday.

The home side dominated the opening half and Luis Diaz hit a post in the 17th minute, but too often the Liverpool attackers found themselves on different wavelengths, and much of their play lacked their usual fluidity as chances went begging.

Their wastefulness was punished in the 72nd minute as Anthony Elanga found his fellow substitute Hudson-Odoi with a brilliant crossfield ball, and the 23-year-old winger cut inside before curling a tremendous effort past goalkeeper Alisson.

Having convincingly won all of their opening three league games under Arne Slot without conceding a goal, Liverpool looked short of ideas as they sought to come back. A Virgil van Dijk header from a corner that flew over was the closest they came to an equaliser.

FT | Liverpool 0-1 Nottingham Forest

16:57 , Dom Smith

Full-time at Anfield and it’s a first Forest win there since 1969. Callum Hudson-Odoi gets the game’s only goal, and Slot does not look at all happy about it.

A huge shock early in the title race. Forest absolutely deserved it, too.

90+1min: Five more minutes then as the added time is announced. Is it enough for Liverpool to pinch a last-gasp point?

88min: Liverpool running out of time as Szoboszlai forces a corner and Van Dijk then nods just over the bar.

86min: Szoboszlai gets a yellow card and Forest earn a breather...

85min: Elanga breaks away and tries to make it two, but Alisson stands firm and pushes the shot clear. Liverpool have got to be oh-so-careful defensively as they hunt a leveller.

16:43 , Dom Smith

83min: A free-kick for Forest and a booking for Gravenberch as he fouls Jota Silva.

16:41 , Dom Smith

81min: Three Forest subs are waiting to enter the fray and have been doing so patiently for a while now! Hudson-Odoi breaks past Bradley, and wants a penalty after the Northern Irishman makes a challenge, but there’s not a lot in it and so Michael Oliver rightly waves play on.

Then the subs follow. Gibbs-White, Moreno and Wood come off, for Morato, Williams and Jota Silva.

Liverpool 0-1 Nottingham Forest

16:36 , Dom Smith

75min: Liverpool have to change something and are doing so. Curtis Jones and Kostas Tsimikas come on for Robertson and Konate. An attacking change. A back three for Liverpool, who trail with 15 minutes to go...

GOAL! Liverpool 0-1 Nottingham Forest

16:34 , Dom Smith

A SENSATIONAL GOAL FROM CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI!

Elanga breaks away down the right, bends a lovely pass round two defenders and into Hudson-Odoi, who cuts in, and curls beautifully in off the post and past Alisson. They have raised their level and now here is the reward. Can they hang on?

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

16:30 , Dom Smith

69min: A lovely well-worked attack from Forest sees Hudson-Odoi, Wood, Gibbs-White and Elanga all involved. But Elanga’s finish is well over the top.

Alexander-Arnold then shots and gets a corner down the other end. Game has opened up now.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

16:27 , Dom Smith

67min: Well that just about summed up Liverpool’s afternoon thus far. Salah cuts in but then arrows well wide of the net with a dreadful effort. Forest keeper Sels is then booked for time-wasting.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

16:22 , Dom Smith

61min: Elanga is on for Forest as they bid to up the ante in attack, too. Anderson is off.

16:21 , Dom Smith

60min: Gibbs-White gets away down the left, cuts in, but then fires high and wide. Now come the subs for Liverpool. Jota, Mac Allister and Diaz are off. Nunez, Bradley and Gakpo are on.

58min: Triple change coming for Liverpool. And you sense they need it.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

16:14 , Dom Smith

52min: Salah bursts into life down the right, cutting inside and then out of Moreno, before firing on goal. Sels is equal to it. First opening of the half for the Reds.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

16:11 , Dom Smith

50min: The upping of tempo I mentioned Liverpool needing hasn’t really arrived yet to be honest. It’s all a little bit passenger, and Forest are the team beginning to raise their level, not the hosts.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

16:06 , Dom Smith

And the second half is underway! Liverpool in need of a little gear change...

Liverpool could do with this man's presence this afternoon...

Goalless at the break, then, in what has been a pretty stop-start first half. Diaz came close a couple of times, but Forest will be pleased.

46min: Ryan Yates shown a yellow card. Aina’s long throw is excellent but Gravenberch clears it.

44min: Moreno rightly booked for felling Jota and stopping a Liverpool counter.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

15:42 , Dom Smith

40min: Truly bizarre moment almost costs Forest a goal. Alexander-Arnold’s cross is headed upwards by Diaz. It’s dropping just before the crossbar, where Sels catches it - initially - and then drops it. The ball is about to go over the line having dropped through Sels’s legs, but he just about manages to gather it before it does.

Horrific goalkeeping. Luckily for the Belgian, he gets away with it.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

15:38 , Dom Smith

36min: Cheeky from Alexander-Arnold, who spots Sels off his line and tries to score directly from an in-swinging corner. Nearly does, too! But Sels just about gets there and clears over the bar for another corner. Second one is wasted.

Then Jota denied a header from open play by Sels.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

15:36 , Dom Smith

35min: Liverpool moving the ball more quickly now, rotating nicely and causing Forest increasing problems as we approach the final 10 minutes of the first half.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

15:30 , Dom Smith

29min: Alexander-Arnold’s cross is put behind for corner and you can just sense Liverpool trying to force the issue here now.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

15:26 , Dom Smith

24min: A lovely pass sees newly-capped England man Morgan Gibbs-White creep behind the Liverpool backline. But his chip past Alisson also goes past the past. He’s then flagged for offside from the initial run...

Jota then volleys into the gut of goalkeeper Sels at the other end.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

15:22 , Dom Smith

21min: Mac Allister is down after Yates makes contact with the Argentine’s face while trying to hold off a challenge. Didn’t look malicious, but Yates definitely knew what he was doing.

18' | Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

CLOSE! Diaz cuts in from the left and strikes the post off his right foot. The first chance of the match and it so nearly produces a lead for Liverpool!

A familiar face watching on. Chiesa cannot wait to get started at Liverpool, you can just tell!

16' | Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

15:17 , Dom Smith

Alexander-Arnold frees Salah down the right, but the Egyptian’s pass inside is just behind Szoboszlai, and the ball goes astray. A slightly disjointed start from the nevertheless dominant Liverpool...

10' | Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

15:12 , Dom Smith

You could be forgiven for thinking was Liverpool vs Manchester City, given Forest are playing in light blue shirts and white shorts. But that may be a tad insulting to Forest, who have kept it level for the first 10 minutes.

The same cannot be said over in Manchester, where City are trailing Brentford after a goal in the 22nd second of the match...

6' | Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

15:08 , Dom Smith

Gravenberch tries to unlock Salah down the right, but his pass is overhit and flies behind for a goal kick. Thumbs up from Salah, who liked the idea.

Bit of treatment for Andy Robertson here after a robust challenge. Being talked to by the docs and now being checked off the pitch but looks OK.

Man of the moment

14:16 , Dom Smith

Here he is. The man no one can seem to beat this season. Can Forest end his run of clean sheets this afternoon?

14:02 , Dom Smith

The home side have arrived at Anfield. Trent Alexander-Arnold pictured looking more than a little suspicious of the photographer here. What a week he just had on international duty with England, integral to their 2-0 wins over the Republic of Ireland and Finland under interim manager Lee Carsley.

More of the same line-breaking passing from him today?

Forest will be without midfielder Danilo after he suffered a gruesome injury during their draw with Bournemouth on the opening weekend. Willy Boly may be a doubt after suffering a calf injury while away on international duty.

Liverpool could hand Federico Chiesa his debut in today’s Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest.

The Italian winger completed his cut-price £12.5million move from Juventus just before the transfer deadline but was not ready to be part of the squad for the Reds’ stunning 3-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford on September 1, having had a disrupted pre-season following Euro 2024.

However, Chiesa spent the international break getting up to speed at the club’s AXA Training Centre and could make his bow at Anfield against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
