Liverpool return to Anfield on Saturday to face Bournemouth, eager to maintain momentum after their impressive 3-1 comeback victory against AC Milan in the Champions League. Under new manager Arne Slot, the Reds have displayed resilience, particularly in Europe, where they bounced back after conceding early to earn a crucial win in Milan. That result comes after a frustrating 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, where Callum Hudson-Odoi’s sublime goal handed Slot his first defeat as Liverpool boss.
Currently sitting fourth in the Premier League standings, just a point behind Arsenal and Newcastle, Liverpool have shown defensive solidity, boasting the joint-best defensive record in the league. Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate have been formidable at the back, while Dominik Szoboszlai continues to impress in midfield. As they gear up to face a Bournemouth side coming off a narrow 1-0 loss to Chelsea, the Reds will look to return to winning ways in the league and keep the pressure on the top three.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, have had a mixed start to their Premier League campaign under new boss Andoni Iraola. The Cherries were moments away from securing a point against Chelsea last weekend before a late goal from substitute Christopher Nkunku handed them a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat. Despite the loss, Bournemouth can take positives from their resilient performances, including their thrilling 3-2 comeback win over Everton earlier this season.
Liverpool starting lineup
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Nunez
Bournemouth starting lineup
Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Christie, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Unal

Who will win Premier League match between Liverpool and Bournemouth?
Sitting 11th in the table, Bournemouth head to Anfield with the daunting task of facing a Liverpool side in fine form. Their previous meetings with the Reds last season were one-sided, with Liverpool claiming a 3-1 win at Anfield and following it up with two more victories in the EFL Cup and Premier League. While Bournemouth will aim to keep the game competitive, their chances of an upset seem slim given Liverpool’s recent form and defensive prowess. However, with attackers like Enes Unal and Justin Kluivert ready to test the Reds’ backline, the Cherries will be hoping to spring a surprise.
Ultimately, Liverpool’s defensive strength, combined with their newfound attacking rhythm under Slot, makes them strong favorites to secure all three points.
