Jurgen Klopp's side look to have turned a corner and will be hoping to take advantage of a Forest team without a win in eight matches and rooted to the bottom ...
Sat, October 22 Nottingham Forest play host to Liverpool at the City Ground in Nottingham, England. — Liverpool to open the Premier League weekend. 1 hour 30 mins to KO: A half-hour until team news releases at the City Ground. 1 hour to KO: Team news is in, with Nunez and Thiago missing from the squad entirely! 45 mins to KO: Forest have been in a horrendous run of form since their home opener against West Ham in August, which remains their sole victory of 2022/23. We are committed to this style." Liverpool were the defending continental champions heading into that tie, but Brian Clough's men emerged 2-0 winners here en route to winning the trophy themselves. 30 mins to KO: This fixture is of course steeped in history, with the 1978/79 European Cup clash being among the most famous in Forest folklore. The decision was made this morning at 5:15. For Darwin, the game comes too early, he still feels the intensity of the game muscle-wise so there was no chance he could play today.
Mohammed Salah and Roberto Firmino were among the players to have a poor game as Liverpool lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest.
[Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/145392/Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain) (Firmino, 76") N/R - Introduced for Firmino on his return from injury -- his first appearance this season. [Jordan Henderson](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/127262/Jordan-Henderson) (Carvalho, 62") 6 - The captain pressed aggressively from midfield to help Liverpool win the ball back in better positions. [Trent Alexander-Arnold](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/223532/Trent-Alexander-Arnold) (Milner, 62") 7 - A number of dangerous set-piece deliveries almost led to goals, but Firmino and Van Dijk couldn't convert. [Taiwo Awoniyi](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/194686/Taiwo-Awoniyi) forced [Joe Gomez](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/102053/Joe-Gomez) into a mistake in the second half, allowing the hosts to score from the resulting free kick. Anonymous in the second half after failing to get a proper connection on a chance when he had more time than he thought. Play broke down too often when he was in possession, with his worst moment when he ran into traffic with the ball and lost it carelessly in the 85th minute. A strong performance after some time on the sideline with an injury in a role that could suit him in future games. His injury time effort was too central and allowed Henderson to make the save. A key block kept Liverpool in the game. Kept the game at 1-0 with some big saves. The Reds were sloppy in possession too often, and that saw forward balls travel carelessly out of play. Jurgen Klopp, 6 -- Responded quickly to going 1-0 down with two substitutions that could have been made earlier.
Taiwo Awoniyi struck in the 55th-minute to end Liverpool's mini-revival, which saw it beat Rangers, Manchester City and West Ham in its previous three games.
“The performance I can kind of explain, the result not to be honest,” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told BT Sport. “To score against Liverpool is a day I will never forget,” he told BBC Sport. His cross was struck against the post by Ryan Yates, but Awoniyi was on hand to turn the rebound into an empty net.

"This is not the end, this has got to be a part of the start. "This kind of game we have to look back on it and build on it. "To score against Liverpool is a day I will never forget. Now we have to build on it," he said. "He had a sensational development.

“We have to wait 24 hours and then we will know what it is.” “He made a fantastic goal, but he is not playing at his best. “He is not playing at his top level, not yet,” Guardiola said. “To fight back with a fourth game in 10 days, you see the spirit and how they deal with setbacks. He has scored 17 goals in the Premier League so far this season. “Massive, massive blow because I have no idea how we can lose this game to be honest.
Fabinho has been struggling for Liverpool and his problem has left Jürgen Klopp with no choice but to attempt to fix it with a bold wildcard option who ...
As it is, Liverpool have backed themselves into a corner. Even against Nottingham Forest, the Liverpool boss was forced to play Curtis Jones out of position alongside Fabinho. He is a shadow of his former self and that was once again evident against Nottingham Forest. Liverpool's injury problems are almost certainly down to a lack of options for rotation, causing players to be overworked. However, with a talented teenager like Stefan Bajčetić on the bench, perhaps the Liverpool boss could give the 18-year-old an opportunity to provide much-needed cover after having caught the eye in pre-season. There was something not quite right about Liverpool's performance against Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.
A look ahead to our next WSL fixture as we take on newly-promoted Liverpool at Prenton Park.
- The Gunners have won 11 consecutive WSL matches and we would match the league record with a victory at Prenton Park. Matt Beard on us: “This is why we want to be in this league: to be testing ourselves up against the best teams. We know we have to put in a strong performance.” For me, I’m always looking for how the players respond in actions, I think you could see when Viv came on against Lyon that she put a lot of energy into those minutes and really tried to help the team.” They have lost their last two league matches against Everton and Spurs, failing to score in the process. The team from Merseyside have won the WSL title twice before – consecutively in 2013 and 2014 – but soon proceeded to drop off from the leading pack of Chelsea, Manchester City and ourselves.
MBM report: Can Arsenal extend their perfect start in the WSL at Prenton Park? Find out with Daniel Harris.
39 min Daniels wins a second ball with a fine header and Hinds has space down the right. 21 min Liverpool try to play out but Arsenal stop them, and Matthews’ hump ends up with Zinsberger. That makes sense – and it’s working – but I wonder if we’ll see the latter at centre-forward at some point. 56 min On Liverpool, I should say that I like what they’re trying to do, playing out from the back and seeking to impose their game. 48 min Campbell finds Stengel who crosses, and when Foord has a swipe and misses, Liverpool appeal for handball! Though as I type that, I remember that they started the first half slowly, Maanum spreads to Foord, and a beautifully-weighted ball in behind releases Blackstenius! but Foord goes to soon and is offside. 57 min Little wriggles down the left and finds Foord who, with noting on, goes backwards and Arsenal probe … and Laws makes a fine save, coming out, making herself big, and thrusting up a hand to paw the ball away from her face. 66 min Liverpool get the corner away, then win a throw which Campbell takes from more or less in the stand. But Wubben-Moy is up with Flaherty and does enough, the ball flicking off her back and flying behind. 75 min And this time the delivery is good!
Liverpool re-christen Prenton Park into the WSL when they host Arsenal for the early match.
Stick with The Liverpool Offside team to keep yourself up to date with team news and match buildup, live updates, and post-match reaction. That’s gonna require a huge performance from us in order to get the result there.” You always have to put in the work and it starts with preparation. Matt Beard: “Arsenal have had a fantastic start to the season and obviously the performance against Lyon the other night as well pretty much shows the form they’re in. But no one expected Liverpool to beat the longstanding league titleholders Chelsea either. Some good news on the injury front is that Matt Beard indicated that Ceri Holland would be available to start this match.

This is the first time Arsenal have not started the midfield trio of Walti, Little and Miedema in the WSL since February. Lina Hurtig is not in the squad, I don’t know why yet but will ask! That means Vivianne Miedema again starts on the bench with Frida Maanum in the advanced midfield role. Laura Wienroither and Katie McCabe will play at full-back with Lotte Wubben-Moy and Steph Catley at centre-half. Caitlin Foord and Beth Mead will flank Stina Blackstenius upfront. Jonas Eidevall has stuck with the starting XI that thrashed Lyon 5-1 on Wednesday evening for Sunday’s WSL clash against Liverpool.

[Fabinho](https://theathletic.com/football/player/fabinho-B4oErnzfMBHwkivn/) and [Curtis Jones](https://theathletic.com/football/player/curtis-jones-oUDfN8P3bbsDYAPC/) didn’t work. There was also a goal-saving block from [James Milner](https://theathletic.com/football/player/james-milner-I98QkCY4xQxQGloS/). They have now lost more league games this season than in the whole of 2021-22. There’s a lesson there for the club’s owners to learn. [Alisson](https://theathletic.com/football/player/alisson-tnsx3VLvny2hiY7b/)’s brilliance papered over the cracks in midweek. “The most difficult thing in football is to play against a deep defending side. However, that in itself underlines the folly of relying so heavily on someone who misses so much football. Elliott carried the fight as much as anyone and could hold his head high — he was heavily involved in the little they did create from open play. During a frenetic finale when a ragged Liverpool looked just as likely to concede a second as equalise, he produced a stunning save from [Ryan Yates](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ryan-yates-thJpSfsRiBnvDwKg/). [Liverpool](https://theathletic.com/football/team/liverpool/) wasted from corners and free kicks after their recent spirited revival ended in chastening fashion at the City Ground. Where was the gulf in class? In terms of the action areas, 23.9 per cent of the contest was played in Forest’s third of the pitch and 22.4 per cent in Liverpool’s third.
Liverpool looked much more positive with the ball all game long, but still failed to get a shot off until the second half as they fell to their third ...
She picked out a good through ball to Katie Stengel near the left edge of the Arsenal box, but the American just couldn’t get her foot to the ball to control it. Rachael Laws again came up with a huge save, this time on Beth Mead, to keep Arsenal out of the net in the second half. She led a counter, carrying the ball from the edge of her own box all the way midway into the Arsenal half. Missy Bo Kearns sent a great ball in that Niamh Fahey got a head to, but it skimmed off the shoulder of a defender and deflected just wide of the post. It was Liverpool’s first shot and first shot on target of the match. She sent the ball into the box, and it was poorly dealt with by the Arsenal defense, with a miskicked ball hitting the outstretched arm of a defender. Katie Stengel earned a free kick with some great work to hold the ball up, and Liverpool earned a corner kick off of it that was easily cut out by the keeper. Ceri Holland recovered the ball and sent it to Emma Koivisto on the right flank, who sent a lofted ball into the box. Yana Daniels put a great ball into the box after a recovery by Katie Stengel, but no one was able to get on the end of the ball as it bounced around. Megan Cambell put a good ball into the box and it was half cleared. They got a shot off that blessedly hits the far post and stays out of the net. Megan Campbell did well to get across and block the shot out for a corner.
