Liverpool Prepared for Nottingham Forest Challenge at Anfield
Liverpool is set to take on Nottingham Forest at Anfield this Saturday, September 14, as they aim to maintain their unblemished start to the Premier League season under the guidance of new manager Arnie Slot. The match will kick off at 3 p.m. BST, which translates to 10 a.m. ET in the United States and 12 a.m. AEST on the following day in Australia.
The Reds have exhibited impressive form in the opening fixtures, securing maximum points without conceding any goals. Their recent decisive victory over Manchester United has firmly positioned them as strong contenders in the title race. Notably, this encounter will mark Nottingham Forest’s first challenge against a top-tier team this season, providing valuable insight into the progress made under head coach Nuno EspÃrito Santo.
For viewers in the United States, the game will be available via streaming on Peacock Premium, which requires a subscription. Coverage in Canada will be provided by Fubo Canada, while Australian fans can subscribe to Optus Sport for extensive EPL coverage. In contrast, no live broadcast of the match will be available in the United Kingdom due to blackout restrictions aimed at encouraging attendance at lower league games.
Utilizing a VPN could be beneficial for fans traveling abroad who wish to access the streams. Services like ExpressVPN help by changing the user’s virtual location, allowing access to broadcasting services available in other countries. However, fans should ensure their VPN is properly set up to prevent any account restrictions from their chosen streaming service.
Both teams will face fitness tests for several players. Liverpool might miss Curtis Jones due to a groin problem but could include Alexis Mac Allister, who has recovered from an injury. Meanwhile, promising newcomer Federico Chiesa might feature as a substitute in his first match for the club. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest will be without Danilo and Willy Boly due to injuries but expect James Ward-Prowse to potentially make his debut for the side.
Historically, recent encounters between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest have been closely contested. In their last five meetings across different competitions, Liverpool has emerged victorious three times, with Forest winning once and the teams drawing once.
