Liverpool to host Nottingham Forest at Anfield in Premier League matchweek 2
Liverpool will welcome Nottingham Forest to Anfield in the matchweek 2 fixture of the Premier League 2026-27 on Saturday, August 29, the clubs confirmed. The game follows Liverpool’s 2-2 opening draw with Newcastle United in the new season.
Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw by Newcastle in their opening match, with Dominik Szoboszlai converting a penalty in the final moments of the game. The club remain concerned about issues in both defence and attack and, according to the report, have only the last few days of the summer transfer window left to sign a player or two.
Nottingham Forest have registered below-par performances in their first two games of the campaign and will need strong efforts to take down Liverpool. The Tricky Trees cannot allow opponents to take many chances on goal or they will come under pressure, the preview warned.
Supporters in India can watch the match live on the Star Sports Network and via Jio Hotstar. Fans in the host nation can view the game on Sky Sports, while Nigerian viewers will have access through SuperSport and Canal+.
In the United States the fixture will be broadcast on NBC Sports and Universo. The preview included a matchday graphic posted on social media: "It's #PL Matchday at Anfield for the first time in 26/27 🏟️❤️ #LIVNFO pic.twitter.com/nvtfJWDScm" and advised readers to follow Khel Now on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, download the Khel Now Android App or IOS App and join the community on Telegram for more updates.
