Liverpool hunt first win under Iraola but 1-0 down against Nottingham Forest

Liverpool will look to pick up their first win under new boss Andoni Iraola as they take on Nottingham Forest in the first of Saturday’s four Premier League matches. Dominik Szoboszlai’s penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time secured a point at Newcastle in their first game of the season, while Forest come into the game off the back of two defeats against Leeds in the past week – once in their Premier League opener and again in the League Cup. Later, Tottenham take on Newcastle as both sides search for their first league win of the season. Spurs were beaten 3-0 at Brentford in Roberto De Zerbi’s first league match, but they responded with a 5-1 League Cup victory over Charlton in midweek. Two of the promoted sides meet at 3pm as Coventry host Hull, while Everton are away at Bournemouth. The start of day three of England’s Test match against Pakistan at Lord’s has been delayed by rain.
