Andoni Iraola will return to his former hunting ground as Liverpool take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium tomorrow.
The Reds are unbeaten in the Premier League under their new head coach but have won just one game, drawing their previous game in the competition 0-0 vs Fulham.
Overall, though, they are showing signs of progress and seem to be just a few games away from clicking completely into gear.
A handful of players like Virgil van Dijk and Florian Wirtz were rested vs Tottenham in midweek and should come straight back into the XI.
Liverpool also have no fresh injury concerns, with Federico Chiesa, Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike their only absentees.

Bradley Barcola hasn’t scored or assisted since his big-money move from PSG and will look to get in on the act tomorrow.
Alexander Isak already has three Premier League goals to his name and should lead the line. On the right flank, Victor Munoz, Rio Ngumoha and Cody Gakpo are in line for a start, and it’s anyone’s best guess who Iraola goes with.
Predicted Liverpool XI vs Bournemouth: Alisson Becker; Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez; Alexis Mac Allister, Dom Szoboszlai; Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola; Alexander Isak
