Bournemouth v Liverpool

Bournemouth vs Liverpool Preview

Bournemouth won the battle between the two surprise packages in this season's Premier League against Nottingham Forest last weekend as The Cherries registered a comprehensive 5-0 home win over the Tricky Trees which in turn has helped lift Andoni Iraola's side up into seventh place and just one point behind fourth placed Manchester City.

Liverpool protected their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table last weekend with a resounding 4-1 home win against Ipswich Town which has also extended Arne Slot's side's unbeaten run in the English top flight to an impressive 18 matches overall.

Bournemouth themselves have put together a decent looking 11-match unbeaten run in the domestic top flight which has now placed the south coast club in serious contention for a possible Champions League spot for next season as the hosts have registered seven wins within this period.

Within these seven victories, Bournemouth have posted wins against Tottenham 1-0, Everton 1-0 and the aforementioned crushing 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, but Bournemouth's biggest test at home this season will be the visit from the league leaders, Liverpool, on Saturday afternoon.

The Cherries have lost only twice in their 11 home games to date this term whilst collecting a total of six wins in the process but the last time the south coast club entertained Liverpool, The Reds ran out comfortable 4-0 winners.

Liverpool sit top of both the Premier League table and the Champions League table and as well as being unbeaten in their previous 18 league matches, the merseyside club have also suffered just the one defeat in their last 30 matches in all competitions which is some record indeed.

On the Premier League front, Arne Slot's side have continued their winning momentum by posting recent back-to-back wins against Brentford and Ipswich Town respectively and within their 18-match unbeaten sequence in the Premier League, The Reds have plundered a total of 13 victories in the process.

Therefore, Liverpool are very much the team to beat right now in the English top flight but although Bournemouth hold home advantage at their Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon, this Liverpool outfit have been heads and shoulders above the rest of the competition so far in this season's campaign.

In addition, Liverpool have won eight out of their 11 outings on the road so far this season in the Premier League along with keeping five clean sheets along the way.
