Match preview, lineups, and prediction for Liverpool vs. Bournemouth. Reds to identify vibrant Sweets
Last weekend, Arne Slot lost shockingly at home to Nottingham Forest.
Last weekend, Arne Slot lost shockingly at home to Nottingham Forest.
In all competitions, Liverpool has defeated Bournemouth ten times in the previous eleven matches.
Just one of Bournemouth’s previous seven Premier League games have ended in a victory.
Suggested wager: Liverpool to prevail and both teams to score
Arne Slot had the best start to his career as Liverpool’s manager, despite the fact that the team’s home defeat to Nottingham Forest last week was somewhat of a surprise.
Under the Dutchman, who watched his team swiftly bounce back from the Forest loss with an excellent 3-1 triumph over Milan in the San Siro on Tuesday, the Reds have won four of their first five games.
Slot, who must still be perplexed as to how his team was able to perform so poorly against the Tricky Trees at Anfield last Saturday, found solace in the Champions League victory.
Several of Liverpool’s key players had to travel to and from South America over the international break, which didn’t help. However, the Reds returned from Milan this week, so they should be in better shape for their Saturday match against Bournemouth.
Team updates
The lone injury issue for Liverpool is Harvey Elliott. After a strong performance against Milan, Cody Gakpo will be looking to hold onto his spot, but Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz will be vying for the starting spot on Saturday.
After taking a break in midweek, Andy Robertson is expected to make a comeback and take Kostas Tsimikas’ spot at left back.
Tyler Adams and Dango Ouattara, both injured, are expected to miss this weekend’s action. However, Kepa, who is on loan from Chelsea, should start in goal after being ruled unfit to play against his parent team last week.
Cody Gakpo, who made an impression in the victory over AC Milan, will likely start for the Reds.

Bournemouth and Liverpool have met five times at home, with an overall score of 20–2.
Thirteen of the previous fourteen matches have had at least three goals scored.

Forecast
Liverpool lost shockingly to Nottingham Forest at home last week, but they won’t likely make the same mistakes on Saturday when they visit Anfield again.
After last Saturday’s setback, the Reds bounced back fast from that 1-0 loss with an outstanding Champions League victory over AC Milan on Tuesday. They will be motivated to maintain their current level of play.
Although many members of Liverpool’s squad had been abroad on international duty, and some had returned to Merseyside just hours before the team’s home match against the Tricky Trees, the team still looked thin versus Forest.
Reds manager Arne Slot may share some of the guilt because he started the same lineup that defeated Manchester United 3-0 prior to the international break. However, the Dutchman is not likely to repeat the error.
The Reds have a strong record against Bournemouth, and their 2022 9-0 triumph is still vivid in their minds. This hammering is a continuation of a run of results that have seen Liverpool defeat the Cherries 20-2 overall in their last five encounters at Anfield. Another victory for the home team is anticipated in this encounter.
But don’t count out a Bournemouth goal on Saturday; after conceding first against Milan on Tuesday and Forest last week, there are indications that Liverpool may still be penetrated.
