Your Complete Guide to Following Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest

A Big Saturday At Anfield

Liverpool open their home Premier League campaign this Saturday when Nottingham Forest travel to Anfield for a 12:30pm BST kick off. It is Andoni Iraola’s first proper home test in the league, and after a chaotic summer of rebuilding, we think the mood inside the ground will matter just as much as anything that happens on the pitch. For those who cannot make it to Anfield, here is everything you need to follow the game as it happens.

Watching Live

Supporters in the UK can watch the match live on TNT Sports, with Matchday Live building the picture from 11:15am BST through pre-match discussion before rolling into full commentary and post-match reaction. Fans following from outside the UK should check the Premier League’s official broadcast listings for their region, since coverage varies significantly depending on where you are watching from. It is not the most glamorous part of matchday, but getting the basics right means nobody misses kick off.

Audio Commentary And The Match Centre

If a television subscription is not an option, the club’s own app and Match Centre carry free live audio commentary, with build-up material available from around 10am BST. Alongside the commentary itself, supporters following this way get team news, minute-by-minute updates and photos throughout, which in our view is a perfectly good way to stay across a game when you are stuck at work or on the move.

Highlights For Latecomers

Anyone catching up after the final whistle has options too. Bitesize highlights are due from 5:15pm BST, with extended highlights and a full replay following from midnight BST for those who want the whole ninety minutes rather than a five minute edit. Between the live broadcast, the audio options and the highlights package, there is very little excuse for missing out on Iraola’s first home league test, whichever way you prefer to watch it.

The Bit That Actually Matters

All of that is really just logistics though. What matters more is what Iraola’s Liverpool look like on their own turf after an opening day that raised as many questions as it answered. We would rather talk about that than kick off times, but for now, at least there is no excuse for missing it.
