Liverpool v Bournemouth

Liverpool vs Bournemouth Preview

Liverpool's previously impressive three-match winning streak in the Premier League came to an abrupt halt last weekend when The Reds were dealt a shock 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest at Anfield but the merseyside club hold home advantage once again this Saturday when Bournemouth visit, while the south coast visitors may well be fearing a backlash from their hosts as they look to bounce back from a 1-0 loss at home to Chelsea.

Liverpool and their new manager Arne Slot had produced a great start to this new English top flight season as the hosts had racked up early wins against the likes of Ipswich Town, Brentford and Manchester United respectively, but having lost just once in their last eight matches and just three times in their previous 19 league matches, Liverpool will still fancy their chances of returning to winning ways this Saturday.

Within this 19-game stretch, Liverpool have collected 12 wins in the process and having also recorded a comprehensive 3-1 win on the road at AC Milan in the Champions League, The Reds should still be too strong for this visiting Bournemouth outfit on Saturday afternoon.

In addition, Liverpool have lost just twice in their last 33 home games in the Premier League.

Despite picking up all three points against the other merseyside club, Everton, with a memorable 3-2 win at Goodison Park after being 2-0 down, this has been Bournemouth's only highlight in their opening four games of this new Premier League season so far.

The south coast visitors have found league wins hard to come by in recent times in the domestic top flight as Andoni Iraola's men have managed to capture just three wins in their last 12 league matches which came in the form of victories against Wolves, Brighton and Everton.

However, The Cherries have also slipped to six defeats in the process, four of which have been inflicted upon the visitors on their travels with losses incurred at the hands of Luton Town, Aston Villa, Arsenal and Chelsea which does not bode well for this upcoming trip to Anfield.

In addition, Bournemouth have managed to keep just two clean sheets within their previous 13 outings on the road where they have registered just three wins but have also been handed no fewer than six defeats as well.

Bournemouth's poor record against Liverpool in recent times looks set to count against the south coast club as well this Saturday.

Liverpool v Bournemouth Verdict

Liverpool have won 11 of the last 12 encounters between themselves and Bournemouth and The Reds' dominance is set to continue at Anfield this Saturday despite being dealt a shock loss last time out as the hosts are just too good to suffer a second home defeat on the trot.
