Liverpool will be without Harvey Elliott after the youngster fractured his foot during a training session with England’s Under-21s, but that should not impact Arne Slot’s starting line-up for the Forest game too much given he is yet to start a game under the Dutchman.

Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has been doing plenty of talking this week and will resume his bench role against Forest, with Alisson manning the sticks.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is finally being given the opportunity at international level that many feel he has deserved for some time, and he should make up the back four with Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson.

It will be interesting to see how Konate responds after he produced a sloppy display for France in their Nations League defeat by Italy, a performance that saw him dropped for Les Bleus’ next game.

Alexis Mac Allister came off the bench as Argentina lost to Colombia in World Cup qualifying to allay any injury fears around the former Brighton man, and one suspects he will line up in a midfield three along with Ryan Gravenberch and

Dominik Szoboszlai.
