Premier League leaders Liverpool head to Bournemouth on Saturday in what could be a significant fixture in terms of their title ambitions.
The Reds have a six-point lead at the top of the standings and, with closest challengers Arsenal not in action until they host Manchester City on Sunday, this game at the Vitality Stadium offers Arne Slot and his players the chance to pile pressure on the Gunners.
Bournemouth represent one of the toughest opponents in the league right now, though. Andoni Iraola’s side are on a brilliant run of form and have put themselves in a strong position to challenge for European qualification.
This has the makings of being a far closer contest than the reverse fixture at Anfield last September, when Liverpool won 3-0.

2 hours to kickoff: Liverpool would settle for a repeat of this performance — a 4-0 win back in December 2018 — but this Bournemouth side is a different proposition. They’re unbeaten in 12 games and have scored 16 goals in their past four matches in all competitions.

Bournemouth vs. Liverpool lineups, team news
Bournemouth have a lengthy injury list, which makes their recent results all the more impressive. They are without Enas Unal for the season with a torn ACL, while a number of others are down for a few more weeks.
Evanilson, Marcos Senesi, and Julian Araujo have long-term injuries, while Adam Smith, Luis Sinisterra, James Hill, and Alex Scott are closer to a return but still not ready to see the pitch. Julio Soler is currently away from the club, on international duty with Argentina for the South American U-20 championship, which wraps up in mid-February.
USA international Tyler Adams has finally enjoyed a spell of fitness in midfield and has proven his worth, a key cog in the club’s recent run of form.
Bournemouth projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Kepa (GK) — Cook, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez — Christie, Adams — Brooks, Kluivert, Semenyo — Ouattara

The Reds were without only Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones, and Diogo Jota through injury for their midweek Champions League match against PSV, and all three could be nearing a return.
Gomez has been out for a month with a hamstring injury but returned to training ahead of the PSV match. He didn’t recover in time to feature, but he could be worked back into the rotation soon. The same is true for Jones and Jota, who were not able to train before the PSV match but are expected to be back shortly. All three may be available for this game but it’ll be touch and go.
The likes of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Luis Diaz, and other top stars were rested midweek but should all return here.
Liverpool projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson — Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch — Salah, Diaz, Gakpo
