Liverpool is poised to restart its Premier League campaign against Sean Dyche's Nottingham Forest at Anfield this weekend.
The Reds will be hoping the international break has provided a much-needed reset after a recent run of poor form. Arne Slot's players experienced a resounding 3-0 loss to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in their last Premier League match.
This was another indication that Liverpool is far from its title-winning form of last season, having suffered defeats in five of its previous six Premier League games. The Anfield faithful will be called upon to help the Reds return to their winning ways on Saturday.
Prior to the loss to City, there were some promising signs during Liverpool's home victories over Aston Villa and Real Madrid earlier this month.
Liverpool will be looking to regain lost ground in the title race against Forest. However, Dyche's team could present a formidable challenge.
Despite a disastrous start to the season, Forest has only lost one of its first five games since Dyche took over from Ange Postecoglou in October. Here, Liverpool.com provides all the information you need to know ahead of the match.
What is kick-off time?
The match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest will take place at Anfield on Saturday, November 22. The game will commence at 3pm UK time.
Why isn't Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest on TV?
The match will not be televised live in the United Kingdom as it kicks off at 3pm on Saturday. UK broadcasters are banned from showing live fixtures between 2:45pm and 5:15pm on Saturdays (local time) in a policy designed to safeguard attendance numbers throughout the English soccer pyramid.

Across South America, ESPN will be showing the game. FOX and TNT Sports will be presenting the match in Central America. BeIN Sport will be providing coverage throughout the Middle East, while SuperSport will be transmitting the Liverpool fixture across Africa.
Team news
Liverpool is poised to welcome back goalkeeper Alisson Becker to the squad against Forest. The Brazilian has been sidelined since September, though Slot had previously expressed optimism about having Alisson available for selection.
Nevertheless, defender Jeremie Frimpong may remain unavailable. "I expect Jeremie back after the international break because we play from November until March!" Slot said before the international break. "I don't expect Jeremie to be fully fit for Forest, but with Alisson, we expect this."
Liverpool witnessed Ryan Gravenberch given a breather for the Netherlands' second fixture of the international break, while Alexander Isak featured in both matches for Sweden as he seeks to rediscover his finest form.
Mohamed Salah was rested for Egypt's friendly with Cape Verde on Monday. Young defender Giovanni Leoni is the only long-term injury concern for Liverpool. The 18-year-old sustained an ACL injury in the Carabao Cup match against Southampton.
