The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Bournemouth lock horns with Arne Slot's Liverpool side in an important encounter at Vitality Stadium on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Bournemouth vs Liverpool Preview
Liverpool are currently in fourth place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Merseyside giants eased past Liverpool by a 3-0 margin in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
