Liverpool hosts Nottingham Forest at Anfield for Premier League match
Liverpool hosts Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday, August 29, 2026, for a Premier League second-round fixture. The match marks the first home league game for Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola, following a 2-2 draw against Newcastle. Nottingham Forest, led by Oliver Glasner, enters the match seeking their first win after consecutive losses to Leeds United in both league and cup competitions.
Liverpool faces several squad absences, including Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, Joe Gomez, and Giovanni Leoni. The team is expected to rely on Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Cody Gakpo in attack. Nottingham Forest also deals with fitness concerns, specifically regarding top scorer Chris Wood and Neco Williams, though they maintain a relatively healthy attacking lineup featuring Morgan Gibbs-White and Igor Jesus.
In transfer news, Liverpool has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Paris Saint-Germain to sign winger Bradley Barcola for a package worth up to £120 million. The club is also exploring further offensive reinforcements, including interest in Ismaila Sarr and a potential loan for Real Madrid's Endrick to provide depth at striker.
