If Liverpool are to win the Premier League title then it will be their power from the bench – and with their forward options – that will drive them there.

Although Liverpool had struggled to cope with Forest's intensity and rock-solid defending until Diogo Jota's leveller, they laid seige to the Forest goal in the closing stages.

On an evening where Chelsea and Man City also drew, Arne Slot's Liverpool avoided a "mini-crisis" by fighting back to salvage a point at Nottingham Forest.

Arne Slot insisted Liverpool deserved to beat Nottingham Forest after the "outstanding" Premier League leaders needed Diogo Jota's equaliser to rescue a 1-1 draw against their title rivals.Forest had already beaten Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield in September -- the leaders' only defeat in 20 league games -- and Slot needed no reminding of their qualities.
