Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest: TV channel and live stream details

Anfield gets its first real taste of the Andoni Iraola era today, and Liverpool badly need lift-off.

A chaotic opening-day draw at Newcastle left the new head coach with mixed emotions. His side were seconds from defeat at St James’ Park, trailing 2-1 deep into stoppage-time, before Dominik Szoboszlai smashed home a last-gasp penalty to salvage a point with virtually the final kick. It felt like a steal, but also a warning.

Now comes the home bow, and with it the expectation of a first Premier League win of the season.

Liverpool’s recruitment drive is still in motion. Bradley Barcola is on course to arrive from Paris Saint-Germain before the transfer window shuts next week, yet the paperwork has not been completed in time for the French forward to feature here. Iraola will have to wait a little longer for that particular weapon.

Forest arrive in a very different mood. Their start has been grim. Two straight home defeats to Leeds United, including a midweek loss that dumped them out of the Carabao Cup, have piled the pressure on Oliver Glasner.

Yet Anfield holds few fears for the Forest boss. He built a respectable record here during his time in charge of Crystal Palace and returns with another intriguing project. Liam Delap is available for his debut after completing a £45million move from Chelsea earlier this week, adding power and pace to Forest’s forward line.

And there is a remarkable quirk hanging over this fixture: Forest head to Merseyside chasing a third consecutive season in which they leave Anfield with all three points and a clean sheet. For a club fighting to shake off a poor start, that record offers a sliver of belief.
