Liverpool return to Anfield after a confidence-boosting 3-1 victory over AC Milan in the Champions League , set to host Bournemouth in the Premier League. Following their first league loss of the season against Nottingham Forest , Liverpool will be eager to regain momentum on the domestic front. Meanwhile, Bournemouth come into this game still reflecting on a late 1-0 defeat to Chelsea and hoping for a better outcome at one of the league’s toughest venues .

Liverpool currently sit fourth in the Premier League table with three wins from their opening four games . Under new manager Arne Slot, the Reds have been defensively solid, conceding only one goal in their first four matches. On the other hand , Bournemouth have had a mixed start to the campaign with one win , two draws, and a defeat. Despite their promising play, Bournemouth will need a monumental effort to leave Anfield with points.

Key Players
Liverpool:

Mohamed Salah
Salah continues to be Liverpool’s talisman in attack . The Egyptian winger's incredible pace, dribbling, and eye for goal have already seen him contribute to important moments this season. Salah remains the primary creative and goal-scoring threat for Liverpool, capable of unlocking even the most stubborn defenses. His movement off the ball and ability to cut inside from the right wing pose a constant danger for opposing teams.

Dominik Szoboszlai
Since arriving at Liverpool, Szoboszlai has quickly become a key figure in midfield . His creative vision and set-piece ability were on full display in the win against AC Milan, where he capped off a fine performance with a goal. His ability to dictate play in the final third and link up with Liverpool's forwards will be critical in breaking down Bournemouth’s defense.

Bournemouth:

Enes Unal
The Turkish striker will be looking to make an impact after returning from injury . Known for his clinical finishing and strong aerial presence, Unal gives Bournemouth a reliable outlet up front. If he can find space between Liverpool’s center-backs and capitalize on counter-attacking opportunities , he could be pivotal in any attacking success Bournemouth have in this game.

Justin Kluivert
Kluivert’s speed and flair make him a threat on the wing for Bournemouth . His dribbling skills and willingness to take on defenders could exploit gaps left by Liverpool’s attacking full-backs, especially Trent Alexander-Arnold. If Bournemouth are to create chances against Liverpool, Kluivert’s role in transitioning from defense to attack will be crucial.

Team News
For Liverpool, new signing Federico Chiesa could be in line for his first start after coming on as a substitute in their win against AC Milan. The only significant absentee for the Reds is Harvey Elliott , who remains sidelined with a foot fracture, while Alisson Becker is a doubt due to a hamstring issue. Caoimhin Kelleher is on standby to deputize if Alisson does not recover in time . Andrew Robertson and Luis Diaz are expected to return to the starting XI after being rested for the Champions League clash.

Bournemouth will welcome back Kepa Arrizabalagan , who missed the game against Chelsea due to ineligibility. However, Tyler Adams remains sidelined with a back issue, and Dango Ouattara is a doubt with an ankle injury. Andoni Iraola may also consider handing Enes Unal his first start of the season after the striker returned to full fitness.

Possible Lineups
Liverpool are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation, a setup that emphasizes both offensive flair and defensive solidity. In goal, Caoimhin Kelleher is poised to start. The defensive line features Trent Alexander-Arnold at right back, alongside him, the center-back pairing of Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk brings a blend of pace and experience, while Andrew Robertson will anchor the left side.

In midfield, Liverpool will likely deploy Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai. Up front, the forward trio will feature Mohamed Salah on the right wing, who is always a potent threat; Luis Diaz on the left, and Darwin Nunez at the center.
        Bournemouth's Predicted Lineup and Formation
On the other side, Bournemouth are expected to adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation, aimed at providing both defensive cover and attacking flexibility. Kepa Arrizabalaga will take his place in goal. The back line will consist of Adam Smith at right back, with Illia Zabarnyi and Marcos Senesi forming the central defensive partnership, and Milos Kerkez on the left, tasked with defending against Liverpool's speedy wingers.

In the midfield, Lewis Cook and Joe Rothwell will act as the double pivot , responsible for breaking up Liverpool's play while also initiating counter-attacks. Ahead of them, the attacking trio will feature Justin Kluivert on the right, Antoine Semenyo in a central role, and Marcus Tavernier on the left. Enes Unal will lead the line as the sole striker, bringing both goal-scoring instincts and physicality.
Prediction
Given Liverpool’s defensive solidity under Arne Slot and their impressive performance in the Champions League , they will go into this fixture as heavy favorites. Bournemouth have been competitive in their matches so far, but their lack of firepower against top teams might hinder their chances. With Salah and Szoboszlai in good form, Liverpool should have enough quality to secure a relatively comfortable win.
