Liverpool: Mohamed Salah in tears after tribute to Diogo Jota

Nothing is going well in Liverpool anymore. Swept before the break by Manchester City (3-0), the Reds (8th) hosted Nottingham Forest (19th) for the 12th day of the Premier League. A meeting which marked Alisson’s return to goal, almost two months after his injury at Galatasaray (September 30). A complicated comeback for the Brazilian goalkeeper. Already beaten by Forest last season, Liverpool were slapped this time at Anfield (0-3). Murillo (33rd), Savona (46th) and Gibbs-White (80th) allowed the visitors to achieve this prestigious success. Now 11th, the English champions continue their slide towards the bottom of the ranking, with a 6th setback in the 12th day. Arne Slot’s band – who celebrated their 50th PL match – have won only one game in their last seven matches. If Arsenal win against Tottenham on Sunday, Liverpool will be 11 points behind the Gunners and will undoubtedly have to say goodbye to the title. Opposite, the Sean Dyche bet is currently winning in Nottingham. Forest temporarily leaves the red zone and goes on to a third match without defeat in the league. Matz Sels’ teammates also achieved their first clean sheet of the season and won their first away match in this 2025-2026 financial year.
