New Reds boss Andoni Iraola takes charge of his first EPL game at Anfield.
Liverpool‘s new manager, Andoni Iraola, will be hoping to claim his first English Premier League win as Reds boss on Saturday, as the Merseysiders welcome to Anfield a Nottingham Forest team that’s also going in search of a first EPL victory under new management.
The Reds battled back to snatch a 2-2 draw with Newcastle last weekend thanks to a Dominik Szoboszlai penalty deep into second-half injury time.
The Oliver Glasner era hasn’t gotten off to the best of starts at Forest, with the former Crystal Palace manager overseeing back-to-back defeats away at Leeds — in the Premier League last weekend, then a 2-0 midweek defeat against the Lilywhites in the Carabao Cup.
Liverpool takes on Nottingham Forest on Saturday, Aug. 29, at Anfield, with kickoff set for 12:30 p.m. BST. That makes it a 7:30 a.m. ET or 4:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 9:30 p.m. AEST kickoff in Australia.
Today’s match at Anfield will be broadcast on USA Network, which you can access on Sling TV and other, more expensive streaming TV services such as YouTube TV or DirecTV MySports.
Sling TV’s Blue plan includes USA Network, making it a great option for those wanting to watch Premier League action. It starts at $46 a month (depending on where you live and whether you get local channels) and includes over 40 channels, including other sports channels like ESPN and FS1.
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the EPL action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
Virtual private networks encrypt your traffic and prevent your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies that restrict VPN use for accessing region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions to ensure you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable, safe VPN that works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $15 a month for the basic plan, but if you sign up for an annual subscription, you can save money.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
This Saturday lunchtime clash is exclusive to TNT Sports in the UK and is one of 52 games the network will be showing live this season.
