Bournemouth vs Liverpool key information

Despite having as many as nine first-team players sidelined through injury, Bournemouth have been simply sensational in recent weeks. There was a deserved draw at Chelsea, a 4-1 thrashing of Newcastle at St. James’ Park and then a thumping 5-0 win over in-form Nottingham Forest.

Up to seventh in the table and just a point behind fourth-placed Manchester City, Bournemouth could well challenge for a place in Europe next season. They certainly will not fear the arrival of Liverpool and will be confident that the impressive trio of Dango Ouattara, Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo can trouble a Reds backline that has looked vulnerable of late.

Liverpool enter the game on the back of a 3-2 loss in the Champions League but manager Arne Slot had rung the changes against PSV Eindhoven as their place in the knockout stages was already secured. With the ikes of Virgin van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Mo Salah and Alisson all handed well-deserved rests, the Reds will be back at full strength as they make the long journey south.

The Premier League leaders remain undefeated away from home in the league and will be determined to leave the Vitality with this record intact.

Read on for all the information on how to watch Bournemouth vs Liverpool live streams wherever you are in the world.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool Team News

After ringing the changes against PSV, Liverpool are set to bring their big-hitters back into the starting XI. That means Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah, Alexis Mac Allister and Virgil van Dijk are all set to start on the south coast.

Long-serving defender Joe Gomez is also available after recovering from a hamstring injury and could be given some minutes, though it is likely that Ibrahima Konate will start in the centre of defence.

The only major concerns for Slot are Curtis Jones, who is still recovering from a knock, and forward Diogo Jota who will definitely miss this game due to a muscle injury.

As mentioned above, Bouremouth have several key players missing due to injury. Forwards Evanilson and Enes Ünal are both long-term absentees, while Marcos Senesi, James Hill and Araujo all have thigh injuries.

New signing Julio Soler is also out due to injury, while Alex Scott, Luis Sinisterra and Adam Smith are believed to be close to coming back to action and could feature on the bench.

With so many injuries, it is likely that Iraola will stick with the same side that destroyed Nottingham Forest, which means Tyler Adams is set to continue in the middle of the park alongside Ryan Christie.
