Liverpool host Nottingham Forest at Anfield in the Premier League, with Andoni Iraola's side looking to build on their opening weekend draw against Newcastle United.
The Reds drew 2-2 with Newcastle on matchday one, a result that will have left Iraola wanting more from a squad still in flux as the transfer window enters its final days. The imminent arrival of Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain signals Liverpool's ambition, though the club's business is not yet done.
Iraola has publicly admitted he cannot guarantee Cody Gakpo will remain at Anfield beyond the deadline, with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City both circling the Dutch forward. That uncertainty adds an extra layer of intrigue to the squad named for this fixture.
Nottingham Forest arrive at Anfield in difficult form. Oliver Glasner's side lost their Premier League opener 1-0 to Leeds United and then fell to the same opponents in the Carabao Cup three days later. Two defeats in three days to the same club is a damaging start to the campaign.
Forest did complete a significant piece of transfer business this week, bringing in striker Liam Delap from Chelsea for £50 million on a five-year deal. Whether Delap features at Anfield remains to be seen, though his addition gives Glasner a new attacking option as he looks to arrest a poor run of results.
