Overall, a 1-1 draw keeps Liverpool’s cushion ahead of Forest intact, even if Slot will have reservations as he did at Anfield four months ago despite an excellent second half.

While Liverpool will take some stopping, Forest are in title contention because they are just six points behind with over half the season done. Even if the trophy is out of reach, a place in the Champions League remains well within their grasp.

Premier League leaders Liverpool got everything they wanted (and a bit more) from top-4 hopefuls Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, as the Reds erased an early deficit en route to a 1-1 draw at the City Ground.
