Bournemouth’s run of four straight wins (six games undefeated) came to an end in their last Premier League match. The Cherries were well beaten by Tottenham, but it’s now been three weeks since that game, so Bournemouth have had plenty of time to reflect on what went wrong and prepare themselves to go again, but the visit of Liverpool presents one of the toughest Premier League tests possible.
Liverpool are in truly remarkable form right now. The famous Merseyside club have lost just a single game this season (against Tottenham and in controversial fashion), and are currently sitting at the very top of the table with a two-point gap lead over Man City and Aston Villa. Things are looking rosy for Jürgen Klopp’s men, but they will be without talismanic figure, and current top-scorer, Mohammed Salah for the next few weeks while he’s away playing in the African Cup of Nations. Fortunately, Klopp has an embarrassment of attacking riches to call upon in his absence so even this loss may not slow the Reds down.
It’s hard to see Bournemouth being able to halt Liverpool's seemingly unstoppable momentum, but anything can happen within 90 minutes, so you won’t want to miss the Bournemouth vs Liverpool live stream to see how this one plays out.
Liverpool can move five points clear at the top of the Premier League on Sunday but they could well find themselves in for a major test when they travel to the Vitality Stadium. No side has taken as many points from their last eight Premier League games as the 19 collected by Bournemouth, who have risen from the danger zone to the warmer confines of midtable.
The south coast had been a happy hunting ground for Liverpool before Bournemouth were promoted again last season, the Cherries earning perhaps their best result of the campaign when Philip Billing netted the only goal back in March. That was the first time they had taken so much as a point off the Reds but Andoni Iraola's side are playing like one who could get another, perhaps even more, this time out.
As their recent run of points would suggest, there might be no team in England's top flight with quite as much propulsive momentum around them as the Cherries. Even after a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham last time out in the Premier League, owner Bill Foley's ambitious goal to get Bournemouth into Europe in the next five years does not seem so ambitious; if nothing else they are still in the FA Cup whilst winning their two games in hand would draw them level with Chelsea.
As Iraola noted in his pre-match press conference, Bournemouth have pushed Liverpool close in both their meetings so far this season, the Reds needing a late Darwin Nunez strike to win on their last visit to Dean Court. I'm quite happy with the two games we've played against them but even then we weren't able to even tie a game, said the Cherries' manager. We have to be at our best as they are top of the league.
How will this side cope without Mohamed Salah? That is the question hanging over the next few weeks, perhaps even longer if the hamstring injury the Egyptian appeared to pick up during the Africa Cup of Nations is serious. He is not the only absentee who Jurgen Klopp would love to have for Sunday's visit with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dominik Szoboszlai and Andrew Robertson all targeting returns against Fulham in Wednesday's EFL Cup semifinal.
The trip to Bournemouth also brings with it a reunion with former Red Dominic Solanke, signed from Chelsea in contentious fashion back in 2017. Though he struggled for goals before his £19 million move to the Cherries, Solanke's form of late does at least vindicate Klopp's initial view of the forward. I'm so happy for Dom because when we signed him we were all so excited about the talent he had, said the Liverpool manager.
He had so much potential but it is Liverpool and we had other good strikers as well. He was probably not the most clinical yet but the talent was obvious. It was the right decision to go to Bournemouth, last season he scored enough goals but this season he is up there with the greatest.
Defender Marcos Senesi is suspended after picking up his in the Spurs loss, with Chris Mepham to replace him for Liverpool's visit.
The likes of Tyler Adams, Adam Smith, Milos Kerkez, Ryan Fredericks and Darren Randolph make up for Bournemouth's injury woes, while Lloyd Kelly is a doubt due to a thigh problem.
Dango Ouattara and Antoine Semenyo are on international duty with Burkina Faso and Ghana respectively at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Joe Rothwell and Hamed Traore have joined Southampton and Napoli respectively on loan deals.
Trent Alexander-Arnold became the Reds' latest injury victim in the cup game against Arsenal, in addition to all of Andrew Robertson, Kostas Tsimikas, Stefan Bajcetic, Ben Doak, Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip populating the infirmary.
Wataru Endo and Mohamed Salah are with Japan and Egypt respectively, at the Asian Cup and AFCON respectively, with the latter having sustained a fresh injury during Thursday's game against Ghana.
