A draw is the best result for Leeds in this one, with a Forest win acceptable, so of course Everton have taken an early lead through a penalty given away by Jonjo Shelvy and converted by Demarai Gray. (sigh)
The teams on display:
Forest (4-3-1-2): Navas; Aurier, Worrall, Felipe, Lodi; Shelvey, Clock, Freuler; Gibbs-White; Johnson, Wood
Subs: Hennessey, Mangala, Williams, Lingard, Toffolo, Surridge, Yates, Dennis, Ayew
Everton 4-3-3): Pickford; Coleman, Keane, Tarkowski, Godfrey; Gueye, Onana, Doucoure; McNeil, Iwobi, Gray
Subs: Begovic, Holgate, Coady, Maupay, Mina, Garner, Davies, Vinagre, Simms
Wahay! Brendan Fraser, not the guy from The Mummy, has leveled it for Forest after a nifty team move.
1-1!
Bloody hell! Pickford lumps a free-kick forward, Tarkowski and Keane get their heads to the ball and it eventually goes into the six-yard box where Doucoure gets the wrong side of Freuler to nod home.
1-2 Everton!
Checking in at the hour mark - Everton still sadly leading. A win for them would lift Everton over both Leeds and West Ham into 16th. We desperately need a Forest goal right about now.
Wahay! I'm just out of the shower to see that Desmond Tutu has prevailed at the City Ground, the perfect result for us. It leaves Leeds perilously out of the relegation zone on goal difference. The bottom seven clubs are now separated by only 5 points.
I'm back for the big one - teams in the tunnel:
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson, Salah, Nunez, Gakpo. Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Firmino, Jones, Carvalho, Matip, Tsimikas, Bajcetic, Jota
Manchester United: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Fred, Fernandes, Weghorst, Rashford, Antony. Subs: Heaton, Maguire, Malacia, Sabitzer, Sancho, Wan Bissaka, Elanga, McTominay, Garnacho
Good morning Bob. Just back from our friend's coffee shop to help celebrate the business's one year anniversary.
Desmond is good news for you. That relegation fight is going down to the wire. I thought it was going to be Damari Gray day for Bob.
Half an hour in and Liverpool have dominated but United have created the most dangerous chances on the break.
Morning, David - great to hear from you. I hope that you've had a good week. How did the colonoscopy go? Kate's got one coming up next week.
Thanks Bob. Not sure how it went. Had two polyps. One was flat and indented, which was stated as not being typical. I have a phone conference on the 14th.
Wishing Kate the best with her colonoscopy. The prep is the worst. During mine I thought I saw things from back at LHS, LOL!
Thanks, David - right back at you. LOL! The prep is horrible, but I'll be around to help out Kate next week, which is my Spring Break week.
DAMN! CODY GAKPO GIVES POOL THE LEAD. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING FOR US.
WOUT THE HELL! He finds Row H from close range
Sorry, mate - a bad minute for United there. First, Casemiro has a headed goal ruled out for offside. Then Liverpool march back up the pitch and Gakpo scores.
Cody Gakpo has been widely seen by Liverpool fans as a failure, but that goal will restore the Anfield faithful's trust in him.
BLOODY HELL! NOW 3-0. CODY GAKPO AT THE DOUBLE. TWO POOR SECOND HALF GOALS CONCEDED.
YIKES! SALAH PUTS POOL FOUR UP. DON'T LET THE KIDS WATCH. THIS IS GETTING REALLY UGLY
Sorry, mate - I've just come back from twin duty to see that Liverpool are 4-0 up - how on earth did that happen?
FIVE! Pool winning survival of the fittest. Don't let the twins watch. Texas Chainsaw Massacre less scary.
Thanks mate. Ten Hog has some diapers to change too.
HALF A DOZEN. UNITED PURE AND UTTER SHITE! SALAH WITH A GOAL A SMALL TIKE COULD HAVE SCORED
SO THIRSTY THEY HAVE GONE SEVEN UP. A HUGE BITE FROM BOBBY CHOMPERS
