Andoni Iraola will be aiming to get one over on his old team today as Liverpool faces Bournemouth in the Premier League.
The Spaniard returns to the south coast for the first time since swapping the Cherries for the Reds, and he'll be eager not to fall to a first defeat in charge of his new side.
Although Iraola remains unbeaten since taking charge, Liverpool still hasn't quite convinced yet, with just one win from four league games so far. Heading into the international break, the Reds will want to end this first stage of the campaign on a high.
They go into today's game off the back of a comfortable victory over Tottenham in the Carabao Cup in midweek, which has given Iraola plenty to think about with his team selection.
Having made 10 changes on Tuesday, will the likes of Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha hold onto their spots, or will Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola return to the side?
Follow all the action live from the Vitality Stadium with our live updates below. We'll bring you all the major events from the game as Liverpool faces Bournemouth in the Premier League.
