AFC Bournemouth vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more

03/11/2023

Liverpool will hope to continue their top-four push as they visit struggling Bournemouth in the Premier League this afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp’s side strengthened their chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League with an emphatic 7-0 win over Manchester United last Sunday.

It wasn’t even Liverpool’s biggest win of the season, however. The Reds will be facing a Bournemouth side who are out for revenge after losing 9-0 to the Klopp’s side at the start of the campaign.

Bournemouth are bottom after they threw away a two-goal lead at leaders Arsenal, with Southampton moving off the foot of the table with their win at Leicester later in the day.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today’s game in the live blog below:

AFC Bournemouth vs Liverpool

Fresh off the back of their 7-0 dismantling of Manchester United last Sunday, Liverpool are back in action against a side they beat 9-0 just a few weeks into the season. They’ve seen a recent upturn in their league form that has seen them go unbeaten in their last five outings (W4 D1) without conceding a single goal in that run. Another win here today will see them leapfrog Tottenham into fourth spot. Despite taking the lead just 10 seconds into their last match, Bournemouth suffered a heartbreaking last-gasp defeat to league leaders, Arsenal, last weekend and it saw them drop to the foot of the table. A win here would move them out of the drop zone, but they’ve won just once since the restart in all competitions (D2 L9).
