Liverpool are looking to bounce back as they return to Premier League action at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

After a flying start to the new campaign with wins in their first seven fixtures in all competition, the champions have been brought crashing down to earth more recently.
Arne Slot's side suffered four straight league defeats across September and October to lose ground in the title race.
They thought they had rediscovered form with victory over Aston Villa earlier in November, followed by a morale-boosting win against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
But a demoralising 3-0 defeat to Manchester City last time out now sees Liverpool eight points adrift of leaders Arsenal.

The City Ground outfit find themselves 19th in the Premier League after a chaotic start to the season, but new boss Sean Dyche has steadied the ship, with his side unbeaten in their last three games.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is expected to return for the Forest clash after seven weeks out of action.
The Brazilian limped off in the Champions League defeat to Galatasaray back in September, with Giorgi Mamardashvili standing in between the sticks since.

Young defender Giovanni Leoni remains a long-term absentee, after he was ruled out for the season with an ACL injury.
As for Forest, they could be handed a boost for the trip to Anfield after having something of an injury crisis recently.
