After making 10 changes for the Carabao Cup in midweek, Andoni Iraola has restored his key players as Liverpool make the trip to Bournemouth.
Iraola returns to his former club this afternoon looking to end the Cherries’ 11-game unbeaten home run in the Premier League.
Alisson is back in goal, after watching from the bench as a much-changed side beat Tottenham 3-1 on Tuesday night.
Also restored are Jeremy Jacquet and Virgil van Dijk, with Ronald Araujo shifting back to full-back and Milos Kerkez retained.
The two-man midfield of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister is preferred, with Florian Wirtz back as No. 10 after a night off in the week.
Cody Gakpo and Bradley Barcola start out wide with Alexander Isak up front.
Lewis Koumas, Man of the Match against Tottenham, drops back to the bench along with the likes of Rio Ngumoha, Joe Gomez and Jeremie Frimpong.
Bournemouth boss Marco Rose has made just one change to the side that started Thursday’s 2-1 win over Real Sociedad in the Europa League, with Ryan Christie in for Justin Kluivert after a 64-hour turnaround.
Liverpool: Alisson; Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Gakpo, Wirtz, Barcola; Isak
Substitutes: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Frimpong, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Nyoni, Ngumoha, Munoz, Koumas
