Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest: TV and Live Stream Details

Anfield gets its first real taste of the Andoni Iraola era today, and Liverpool badly need a kick-start.

The new head coach escaped from St James’ Park with a point on the opening weekend, but only just. Liverpool trailed 2-1 deep into stoppage-time against Newcastle before Dominik Szoboszlai slammed home a last-gasp penalty with virtually the final kick. It felt like a steal. It also underlined how much work still lies ahead.

Now comes Nottingham Forest in the early Premier League slot, and with it a chance to bank a first win of the season in front of a restless home crowd.

Iraola’s Anfield bow, Forest’s familiar mission

This is Iraola’s competitive Anfield debut, a landmark moment framed by a busy and slightly unsettled summer. Bradley Barcola is expected to join from Paris Saint-Germain before the window shuts next week, but the deal has not been completed in time for the French forward to feature here.

Forest arrive with problems of their own. Two straight home defeats to Leeds United, including a Carabao Cup exit in midweek, have darkened the mood around Oliver Glasner’s side. Results have been poor, rhythm hard to find.

Yet Anfield has not intimidated Glasner in the past. During his time in charge of Crystal Palace, he put together a respectable record on this ground, and he now has a big-money signing to lean on. Liam Delap, a £45million arrival from Chelsea earlier in the week, is available to make his Forest debut.

The challenge in front of them is stark but familiar. Remarkably, Forest travel to Merseyside chasing a third successive season of leaving Anfield with all three points and a clean sheet. That statistic alone should sharpen Liverpool’s focus.
