Forest will be difficult, hard to predict with new manager - Slot

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister struck deep into stoppage time to secure a scarcely deserved 1–0 victory over Nottingham Forest in their Premier League clash on Sunday, boosting the Merseysiders’ hopes of Champions League football next season.

Liverpool, who lost forward Florian Wirtz to injury in the warm-up, were poor throughout and largely toothless in attack. The home side were little better in their first league game under new boss Vitor Pereira, creating few chances in a drab 90 minutes.

Mac Allister finally sparked the contest into life in second-half stoppage time. He first had a goal ruled out following a VAR review for handball, before rifling home a rebound in the 97th minute to snatch the win.

Liverpool move up to sixth in the table on 45 points, level with Chelsea and Manchester United, who occupy fourth and fifth place respectively. Forest remain 17th on 27 points, two above the relegation zone.
