Liverpool head to the south coast for a Premier League clash with Bournemouth after a mixed few weeks in domestic competition, softfootball reported.
The Reds drew 1-1 with Burnley last weekend, marking their fourth Premier League stalemate in a row, which allowed Manchester United and Chelsea to close in on the top-four spots. Despite the run of draws, Liverpool remain in good shape in Europe after a convincing 3-0 Champions League win over Marseille, extending their unbeaten streak in all competitions to 13 matches.
Liverpool have not lost on the road since their 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in November and have won or drawn each of their last 10 Premier League games. No team in Europe’s top five leagues currently has a longer unbeaten run.
The Reds posted a video on their X handle highlighting tomorrow’s trip and confidence built from their Marseille victory.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, continue to struggle in the Premier League. The Cherries are 15th in the table, nine points behind Liverpool, and have only one win from their last 14 matches in all competitions.
Their last outing ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw with Brighton, where teenage talent Charalampos Kostoulas scored an injury-time bicycle kick to deny Bournemouth victory.

Liverpool’s recent dominance over Bournemouth is clear. In their first Premier League meeting this season, Liverpool won 4-2, marking their 12th victory from 13 top-flight clashes against the Cherries. Bournemouth have conceded 52 goals to Liverpool in the Premier League, the joint-most they have allowed against a single club alongside Manchester City.
Team News
Liverpool have Mohamed Salah back after his Africa Cup of Nations exploits and are likely to start him against Bournemouth. Federico Chiesa missed midweek action against Marseille due to an unspecified training injury. Alexander Isak (calf), Conor Bradley (knee), and Giovanni Leoni (knee) remain sidelined, while Ibrahima Konate is expected back after missing midweek due to personal reasons.
Bournemouth will be without Marcus Tavernier, who is out for some time with a hamstring issue, alongside other injuries to Will Dennis (ankle), Enes Unal (groin), David Brooks (ankle), Tyler Adams (knee), Ben Gannon-Doak (thigh), and Justin Kluivert (knee). Amine Adli is expected to feature. The club has also added 20-year-old Hungarian midfielder Alex Toth to the squad following the sale of Antoine Semenyo.
Possible Lineups
Bournemouth: Petrovic; Smith, Hill, Senesi, Truffert; Scott, Cook; Jimenez, Kroupi, Adli; Evanilson
Liverpool: Alisson; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike
Prediction
Bournemouth have scored and conceded in each of their last eight matches, and this pattern is likely to continue. While Liverpool sometimes struggle against teams sitting deep, Bournemouth are more likely to play proactively. With Salah back and buoyed by their recent 3-0 win over Marseille, the Reds should have enough quality to take all three points.
