Sign up for the Football newsletter Thank you! It could so easily be that both sides come in here having lost their opening games, if not for a late, contentious Liverpool penalty to salvage a draw at St James’ Park. It was a Newcastle side that had been ripped apart in the summer with several high profile sales but Liverpool struggled to break them down and needed a late Dominik Szoboszlai penalty to steal a 2-2 draw. Question marks remain over this Reds side, particularly the sheer ineffectiveness of Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, who have fallen well short of the quarter of a billion pound link up expected. Defensively they look there to be got at too, much like the Reds defence here in this fixture last season. Nottingham Forest stunned Liverpool and won 3-0 on their last trip to Anfield last season. But it’s been a far from ideal start to the campaign this season for Forest and new boss Oliver Glasner, who lost twice in a few days to Leeds without scoring a goal, to lose in the league and be dumped out the League Cup early. With Spurs, Villa and Arsenal in the next half a dozen games after this, a pick-me-up result is called for to avoid a particularly difficult start to the campaign. The incoming Liam Delap – signed for a quite incredible £45million – will provide competition up top and they’ll be hoping he can hit the ground running.
