    Forest boss Steve Cooper meanwhile rings the changes following the 5-0 defeat to Fulham in midweek - seven players come in, and it looks like a change in formation.

    It appears to be three at the back with central defenders Moussa Niakhate and Willy Boly coming in, while there is also a change of keeper with Matt Turner replacing Odysseas Vlachodimos.

    Forest XI: Turner; Williams, Boly, Murillo, Niakhate, Toffolo; Mangala, Kouyate, Yates; Gibbs-White, Elanga

    Virgil van Dijk was on target in midweek but it's not happening for him at Selhurst Park. Wide from the Reds captain after rising to meet a corner.

  4. Team news - Martial starts for Man Utdpublished at 14:00 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Man Utd v Bournemouth (15:00 GMT)

    Anthony Martial is brought back into the Manchester United side, spearheading the attack as he replaces Rasmus Hojlund in one of two changes made by Erik ten Hag.

    At the back, Sergio Reguilon comes into the team as Victor Lindelof drops out of the matchday squad, which surely means Luke Shaw will move inside to centre-back.

    Marcus Rashford remains on the bench.

    Man Utd XI: Onana, Dalot, Maguire, Shaw, Reguilon, McTominay, Amrabat, Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho, Martial.

    Subs: Bayinor, Hojlund, Rashford, Varane, Pellistri, Wan-Bissaka, Van de Beek, Evans, Mainoo.

    Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola makes a slight tweak to his side as they look to continue their fine form - and earn the club's first win at Old Trafford.

    Winger Marcus Tavernier is preferred to Colombia international Luis Sinisterra, who drops back to the bench after making his first start in the midweek win at Crystal Palace.

    Cherries XI: Neto, A Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez, Cook, Christie, Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier, Solanke.

    Subs: Mepham, Brooks, Rothwell, Ouattara, Sinistera, Moore, Kilkenny, Billing, Travers.

    More urgency from Liverpool but Palace are digging in at the back. This is turning out to be a damaging afternoon for the Reds as it stands. Palace are about 25 minutes away from a first win over Liverpool since 2017.

    It shouldn't take 1 minute and 45 seconds to check a "Clear and obvious error" Absolute joke.

    Robert McLaren from Glasgow

    So they can stop the game for a penalty 2 minutes after it happened but couldn’t stop the Spurs game for an actual error. Can someone explain why?

  11. Liverpool 'pretty lacklustre'published at 13:54 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Mark Warburton
    Former Brentford boss on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It'll be interesting to see what Liverpool do now. They've made a couple of changes but they've definitely been pretty lacklustre.

    They're in second gear, they need to change their dynamic now for the remainder of this game.

    Before the penalty was scored.

    How long did this take to go to the screen? It's for a foul on Mateta.

    Then we had at least two pieces of play and then he just blew the whistle.

    Jurgen Klopp had no idea what he was doing and he's gone to look at the penalty, he's given it.

    That's not the last we're going to hear about that decision to award a penalty. Play went on for a couple of minutes before Andy Madley was told to go and watch the challenge on the pitchside monitor. It took the referee about 10 seconds to make up his mind.
