Liverpool predicted XI
Mohamed Salah is set for his first Premier League start of 2026 with a trip to Bournemouth on Saturday.
The Liverpool star this week return to the club following the conclusion of the Africa Cup of Nations, and was put straight into the starting line-up for Wednesday’s 3-0 win at Marseille.
Salah played the full 90 minutes in the Champions League win, and is expected to keep his place on the south coast this weekend for his first top-flight start since November 22.
There remain question marks over Ibrahima Konate’s involvement, after the defender missed the win in France due to personal reasons.
Joe Gomez deputised in his absence, but Konate is expected to be involved again this weekend.
In midfield, Curtis Jones should come back from the start, as he regularly does in the Premier League, alongside Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai.
The only other concern for head coach Arne Slot is the fitness of Federicio Chiesea.
The Italian picked up an issue during training on Tuesday, which meant he was missing from the squad in Marseille despite joining his team-mate s in their warm-up.
