Andoni Iraola is set to lead Liverpool in his first Premier League game at Anfield today, as the Reds host Nottingham Forest. Liverpool's season began with a 2-2 draw against Newcastle, where a late penalty from Dominik Szoboszlai secured a point.
Meanwhile, Oliver Glasner's tenure as Nottingham Forest manager has started with consecutive defeats to Leeds United in both the Premier League and Carabao Cup. Despite this, Forest have only lost one of their last four encounters with Liverpool.
Iraola has highlighted the need for defensive improvement, and changes in attack could be on the horizon. Liverpool has reportedly agreed a £120m deal for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola and is pursuing Ismaila Sarr from Crystal Palace. These potential signings have cast doubt on the future of Dutch forward Cody Gakpo, who is attracting interest from Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. Gakpo is expected to play today, but Iraola has not guaranteed his long-term stay.
