Team News

AFC Bournemouth  

David Brooks, Matias Vina and Junior Stanislas all remain sidelined with injury.

Marcus Tavernier, Lloyd Kelly and Illia Zabarnyi remain doubts for this game.

Both Jefferson Lerma and Hamed Traore missed last weekend's loss to Arsenal owing to slight injuries, so may return for this game here.

 

Liverpool

Calvin Ramsey has been ruled out for the rest of the season with injury.

Thiago and Luis Diaz remain ruled out with injury.

Naby Keita and Joe Gomez both remain doubts for this game.

This game will come too soon for Arthur, who needs to build up match fitness.

 

Prediction

Despite being 2-0 up with less than 30 minutes to go last Saturday, Bournemouth eventually lost 3-2 to Arsenal late into stoppage time. That loss means the win over Wolves around three weeks ago is their only one in the league post-World Cup and their last win on home soil came just before the World Cup break back in mid-November.

Liverpool are currently on their longest Premier League unbeaten run of this season (5), having overcome rivals Manchester United 7-0 on Sunday. However, away from home, the Reds have only picked up 12 out of a possible 36 points.

Jurgen Klopp's side are in form and have maintained half of their clean sheets for the season in the league in their last five games so expect them to get another win here.
