Darwin Nunez, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo have all returned from injury to make the Liverpool bench for their Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Jurgen Klopp has also been boosted by Andy Robertson's recovery from illness, and the Scotland international - who replaces Kostas Tsimikas - is one of four changes to the visitors' XI.

Ibrahima Konate, Alexis Mac Allister and Luis Diaz are also brought back in after being dropped for the FA Cup beating of Southampton, replacing Jarell Quansah, James McConnell and Lewis Koumas respectively.

Koumas and Jayden Danns are both among the substitutes after scoring in midweek, though, while 19-year-old midfielder Bobby Clark makes a Premier League starting lineup for the first time.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has made an identical number of alterations to the Tricky Trees' XI from their cup loss to Manchester United, as Matz Sels, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Andrew Omobamidele and Nicolas Dominguez all return.

Matt Turner, Felipe, Danilo and ex-Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi are demoted, but another former Reds attacker - cult hero Divock Origi - will lead the line against his former team.

Origi is one of two erstwhile Liverpool men in the hosts' XI alongside right-back Neco Williams, while Africa Cup of Nations winner Ibrahim Sangare has recovered from injury to make the bench.

Nottingham Forest: Sels; Williams, Omobamidele, Murillo, Toffolo; Dominguez, Yates; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Origi
Subs: Turner, Sangare, Kouyate, Awoniyi, Felipe, Niakhate, Danilo, Ribeiro, Gardner
