Andoni Iraola is set to face the media at Liverpool's AXA Training Centre on Thursday afternoon, ahead of Saturday's Premier League meeting with Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
The Basque head coach's competitive reign began dramatically last Sunday, when Dominik Szoboszlai scored a last-minute equaliser to salvage a point at Newcastle United. Now attention turns to the first home fixture of the season, with a 12.30pm kick-off against the Midlanders.
Forest a thorn in Liverpool's side
Nottingham Forest have proved a difficult opponent for Iraola's predecessor, Arne Slot, who lost both Anfield meetings with Forest during his two seasons in charge, suffering an aggregate scoreline of 4-0.
Iraola will be in attendance from 1.30pm to face questions on transfer business, this evening's Champions League draw and the visit of Oliver Glasner's side.
Barcola deal progress
Transfer talk continues to dominate discussions at the club, with Liverpool having agreed the structure of a deal to sign Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday morning.
An outline agreement has been reached with the Champions League winners over a deal worth more than £100 million for the France international. The Reds have targeted Barcola as their most high-profile attacking reinforcement this summer following the departure of Mohamed Salah.
Significant progress was made overnight on Wednesday, with a deal being discussed that involves a guaranteed fee of just over £100 million, with add-ons based on individual and team success potentially taking the overall outlay up to around £120 million.
The detail of the proposed deal is still to be agreed, and the ECHO understands there remains work to be done for the transfer to be concluded.
