Premier League LIVE: Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez give Liverpool 2-0 lead over Forest while high-flying Aston Villa take control against Luton and Joao Palhinha draws Fulham level at Brighton

A lovely turn and finish from Palhinha draws Fulham level at Brighton.

Marco Silva can claim his triple change had an impact as Harry Wilson, one of the substitutes, lays the ball into the Portuguese midfielder’s path before he strikes.

A bad day continues to get worse for Luton.

Diaby races in behind the defence and centre-back Lockyer can only turn the cross that follows into his own net.

Villa are cruising against Luton and the home fans are enjoying themselves.

Mail Sport’s Tom Collomosse reports that they are taunting their cross-city rivals following their recent change of manager

Marco Silva is clearly not happy with how his side have started the second half.

He’s just made three changes in one go with Harry Wilson, Rodrigo Muniz and Andreas Pereira coming on for Bobby Decordova-Reid, Raul Jimenez and Harrison Reed.

We are back underway at Anfield as well, and the hosts have kept up from where they left off in the first half.

Hard to see a way back into the game for Forest as things stand.

So close to a second goal for Brighton as well. Adam Lallana was brought down on the edge of the box and up stepped Lewis Dunk to rattle the crossbar from the free-kick.

Villa finally have their second goal as Diaby smashes home from inside the penalty area after Luton failed to clear a Lucas Digne cross.

A third goal in Villa colours for the summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen.

The ball is rolling once more at Villa Park and the AMEX.

Aston Villa have made a change at the break with Leon Bailey replacing Nicolo Zaniolo.

Everton have secured a big result in the relegation battle with Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s second-half goal earning a 1-0 win.

A nice moment following Jota’s opener, as he raised Luis Diaz’s shirt in celebration.

The Colombian winger is missing for Liverpool today after his parents were involved in a kidnapping incident overnight.

We have reached the halfway stage of all three of the 2pm kick-offs.

It has been comfortable work for all three of the home side’s so far, with Nottingham Forest, Luton and Fulham yet to register a shot on target between them.

Plenty to improve on in the second period.

Matt Turner has to be at the top of his game to keep out efforts from Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai

Nunez doubles Liverpool’s lead after great link-up play between Salah and Szoboszlai leaves the Uruguayan with a tap in.

Alexis Mac Allister steals the ball in midfield and he sets Mo Salah away. The Liverpool talisman sets up Darwin Nunez, he’s denied by Matt Turner, but Jota is on hand to slot the rebound!

The young Irish prodigy takes a touch on the edge of the box before placing a shot into the bottom corner of Leno’s net!

The home side aren’t satisfied with just one goal and have set about finding another.

Watkins sets up Zaniolo, only for a last-ditch challenge to deny him

McGinn gives Villa the lead as he controls a Douglas Luiz free-kick before beating a couple of men and firing into the back of the net!

The Argentine midfielder finds some space on the edge of the box away from the packed Forest defence, but he drags his effort wide of the target

The in-form England striker has two chances in quick succession following a Matty Cash cross, but Kaminski keeps him out.

Another opportunity for the man on loan from Galatasaray as he nudges a cross just wide of the near post.

Bernd Leno has been called into action on the south coast, first keeping out Carlos Baleba from distance before stopping a close-range Simon Adingra chance.

Nicolo Zaniolo passes up Villa’s first good opportunity as he guides a shot wide after being set up by Ollie Watkins.

Liverpool have enjoyed 83% of possession so far against Nottingham Forest.

Could be a long afternoon for the visitors as they look to soak up pressure.

Villa are in goal-scoring mood of late and they’ve had the first chance of the afternoon.

John McGinn lashes a shot over the bar after the ball was worked into the middle.

We are underway in all three matches.

Just five minutes now until we get underway at Anfield, Villa Park and the AMEX Stadium.

Both sets of players are being put through their paces ahead of all three of this afternoon’s matches.

The other 2pm kick-off this afternoon sees Brighton host Fulham with the Seagulls looking to build on their eye-catching Europa League win against Ajax in midweek.

Here are the teams selected by Roberto De Zerbi and Marco Silva.

Brighton: Steele, Gross, Dunk, Webster, Igor, Baleba, Dahoud, Adingra, Lallana, Mitoma, Ferguson

Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Bassey, Ream, Robinson, Reed, Palhinha, Decordova-Reid, Iwobi, Willian, Jimenez

Here is the side that Rob Edwards has gone with at Villa Park:

Kaminski, Kabore, Mengi, Lockyer, Osho, Doughty, Ogbene, Barkley, Nakamba, Morris, Brown

Unai Emery has made four changes from the Villa side that won in the Netherlands on Thursday, with Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres, Nicolo Zaniolo and Moussa Diaby all returning to that starting line up.

Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Kamara, Zaniolo, Diaby, Watkins

There is no Luis Diaz for Liverpool this afternoon.

The Colombian international’s parents were involved in a kidnapping incident over night, and he has understandably been allowed to miss the game.

Here is the XI that Steve Cooper has selected at Anfield:

Turner, Mangala, Sangare, Gibbs-White, Dominguez, Niakhate, Elanga, Aurier, Boly, Murillo, Aina

Liverpool have announced their team to take on Forest:

Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Jota, Salah, Nunez

Adapting to life in the Premier League has been tough for Luton, with the Hatters currently in the relegation places having picked up just one win this season.

However, a win against Villa will drag them out of the drop zone, and Mail Sport recently spent a day at the club and found their was still plenty of optimism among the underdogs.

Aston Villa are currently on a club record run of 11 successive home league wins against Luton.

Unai Emery’s side also enjoyed a successful night in Europe in midweek, beating AZ Alkmaar 4-1 in the Conference League.

Earlier this week, Mail Sport revealed the secrets of Emery’s impressive first year in charge at Villa Park.

Forest beat Liverpool at the City Ground last season in what turned out to be a vital boost in their successful attempt to avoid relegation.

They are currently five points clear of the drop zone ahead of today’s games despite only picking up two league wins this term.

Former Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga would surely love nothing more than to net the winner today, and Mail Sport published an exclusive interview with him this morning.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have made a spectacular start to the season, tasting defeat just once in all competitions.

Forest have not won a game at Anfield since February 1969.

Good afternoon and welcome to Mail Sport’s live coverage of Sunday’s 2pm Premier League kick-offs.

Liverpool are hosting Nottingham Forest at Anfield hoping for a win to help them keep pace with league leaders Tottenham.

Aston Villa, who are just a point and a place behind the Reds, are welcoming Luton to Villa Park, whilst Fulham make the trip to Brighton.

With plenty already on the line at both ends of the Premier League standings, it is sure to be a fascinating afternoon of football.
