A week after beating Manchester City, Liverpool hit new low in loss to last-place Nottingham Forest

Newly promoted Nottingham Forest have secured a marquee victory by downing Liverpool 1-0 at the City Ground on Sunday. A single goal from former Liverpool player Taiwo Awoniyi was enough to win it for Nottingham Forest as the visitors continued their woes away from Anfield. Liverpool were lethargic and lacking consistency which lines up well with matches that Thiago has missed during the season. Dean Henderson came up big making seven saves during the match to ensure that Forest kept the clean sheet but Liverpool rarely tested the keeper. Champions League Liverpool will need to show up in the Premier League as Salah has five goals in four Champions League matches compared to three goals and three assists in 11 Premier League matches.

Graham Potter's tactical tweak saves Chelsea from Manchester United defeat but his biggest impact is elsewhere

LONDON -- With 35 minutes played at Stamford Bridge the opening goal seemed inevitable, that it was coming for Manchester United no less certain. Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes were dragging the Chelsea midfield out towards their right flank, opening up pockets on the edge of the box for Antony to create. London has been rich with volte face this week but few have been as effective as that of the Chelsea manager. "The first 30 minutes I thought Manchester United were better and forced us back," the Chelsea manager acknowledged. He hadn't done enough to make Chelsea good enough to beat this swiftly improving Manchester United side, but they were at least steady enough to not lose.

For title-contending Nuggets, reincorporating Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. isn't as easy as it sounds

Add Murray and Porter alongside Jokic, the reigning back-to-back MVP, and the Nuggets should shatter last season's 49 wins, which earned them a No. Matters are complicated partly because, at least for the beginning of the season, Murray will be on an unrelenting minutes restriction after going over 18 months between NBA games. In a tiny sample size so far this season, the Nuggets aren't exactly lighting up the scoreboard (relatively) with Jokic and Porter on the court. Early in the win over the Warriors, Porter showed that his timing and reads are still a bit lacking after his long layoff. Jokic is why most people aren't too worried about Murray and Porter quickly getting back to their old form.

Fantasy Football: Latest on Week 7 injuries, Isiah Pacheco to start, plus rankings updates

And it definitely isn't the case for Week 7, with a ton of big injuries still being tracked as of this morning. In a backfield averaging just 19.5 RB carries per game, I just don't think I'm particularly excited about the prospect of a continued split, whether Pacheco is the lead. He is absolutely a must-add, but he's more like an RB3 this week -- I think I'd start both 49ers back over him. I think I expect Kenyan Drake to be the lead back, but I don't think you can expect much more than a dozen carries or so in a best-case scenario. Technically, all three of these guys aren't even on the injury report this week, so they're going to play.
