Liverpool play their first home Premier League match of the season on Saturday, with Andoni Iraola still searching for his opening win after a 2-2 draw at Newcastle. Nottingham Forest, beaten by Leeds United in their own opener, arrive at Anfield with a recent record at the ground that offers them some encouragement.Liverpool team newsConor Bradley, Hugo Ekitiké, Joe Gomez, Jayden Danns and Giovanni Leoni are all unavailable through injury, and Curtis Jones is a doubt with a groin issue. New signing Bradley Barcola, set to complete a £120 million move from Paris Saint-Germain, is considered unlikely to be involved this weekend regardless of whether the deal is finalised in time, with his debut more realistically pencilled in for next week’s trip to Ipswich Town. Victor Muñoz impressed off the bench against Newcastle, winning the stoppage-time penalty that earned a point.Iraola is expected to make at least one change to his back four, with Jérémy Jacquet in line to continue alongside Virgil van Dijk. Muñoz’s performance against Newcastle has put him in contention to start ahead of 18-year-old Rio Ngumoha, who turns 18 on matchday. Cody Gakpo is expected to keep his place on the left having scored in the last match, despite continued transfer speculation linking him with Tottenham and Manchester City. Ryan Gravenberch and Szoboszlai are set to retain their midfield roles behind a front line built around Alexander Isak.Liverpool predicted lineupLiverpool possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Frimpong, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Muñoz, Wirtz, Gakpo; IsakWhen will the match kick off?The Premier League match kicks off at 12:30 on Saturday, 29 August 2026.How to watch Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest?The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate in the UK.Read more – Conference League draw as Brighton and Hearts learn fateSee also – UEFA Champions League draw and fixtures in full for 2026/27Follow the Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | TikTokThe post Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest – Predicted lineup and team news appeared first on The Football Faithful.
