Bournemouth v Liverpool match preview
Mohamed Salah is back, and Liverpool were back amongst the goals in a fine win in Marseille in midweek.
Arne Slot has arrested the poor run of defeats in the Premier League and the Reds head into the weekend in fourth place – albeit seven points behind Aston Villa and Manchester City ahead.
They have drawn four in a row in the league though and need to find a way to win once more.
Bournemouth have lost talisman Antoine Semenyo and have won just one of their last 13 Premier League games.
Their start to the season was excellent which means they are still well clear of trouble but are in danger of drifting to the end of the season.
Liverpool have won 12 of their last 13 Premier League games against Bournemouth, with the exception being a 1-0 away defeat in March 2023.

The stats for Bournemouth v Liverpool

- Liverpool have failed to score in four different Premier League games this season, as many as in the 2023-24 (3) and 2024-25 (1) campaigns combined.
- Only Sunderland’s Premier League games have seen fewer first half goals (18) than Liverpool’s this season (19 – F10 A9). However, Liverpool’s games have seen more goals scored after half time than any other side (43 – F23 A20).

Liverpool
Liverpool appear to have found their zest for goals again and have Salah and Wirtz back in action. The Cherries are a force at home but concede too many goals.
