Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has told his forwards they need not last 90 minutes, saying their priority is to work until exhausted before being replaced. The approach underlines his demand for high-intensity attacking play as he prepares for his first competitive home match at Anfield against Nottingham Forest.

Iraola hopes Liverpool’s attacking depth will increase with the proposed signing of PSG’s Bradley Barcola and another winger before Tuesday’s deadline. Victor Muñoz, a £34.5m arrival from Osasuna, is considered ready to start after impressing as a substitute at Newcastle, despite a shortened pre-season following Spain’s World Cup win; Iraola’s family and new vice-chair Amit Bhatia are expected at Saturday’s match.
