Matchweek 2 of the Premier League continues with four games, including Liverpool hosting Nottingham Forest. Team news is expected shortly from Anfield. The live blog provides updates and analysis from reporters on the ground.

The early kickoff at Anfield sees Liverpool host Nottingham Forest, with starting lineups expected roughly 75 minutes before the 12:30pm BST start. Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola faces questions about his midfield after it was played through easily at Newcastle last weekend, while Coventry's Oliver Glasner must respond to two defeats against Forest in the space of four days.

Today's four fixtures span three kickoff slots, with broadcast coverage split across USA Network, NBCSN, NBC, TNT Sports, and Sky Sports depending on region. The second gameweek follows an opening weekend that concluded with Crystal Palace facing Manchester City on Friday night, and the transfer window remains open for four more days as clubs finalize summer business.
