Liverpool v Bournemouth Tips and Predictions for the Premier League game today

Can Slot recover from last weekends defeat?

Arne Slot and Adoni Iraola

Anfield takes centre stage in Premier League today as The Reds look to capitalise on their midweek Champions League victory and get back to winning ways domestically – and we’ve got you covered with all the Liverpool v Bournemouth odds.

Slot’s men fell to their first defeat of the season last weekend when Nottingham Forest caused the ultimate shock with a 0-1 victory on Merseyside. The Reds have started the season well but it was a reminder that they can still be beaten.

As for Bournemouth, they were unlucky to lose to Chelsea last time out – their first league defeat of the season – and will be doing all they can to pick up at least a point this afternoon.

Adoni Iraola guided The Cherries to a 12th-placed finish last season in his debut season and rightly received a lot of plaudits. They will be hoping to squeeze into the top ten this time around.

Liverpool new boy Federico Chiesa came off the bench against AC Milan midweek to make his debut for the club. This seems like the perfect game for him to make his Anfield debut and it would be a surprise if he didn’t start.

Harvey Eliott is still the only absentee that Slot has to worry about so The Reds are expected to field a strong side.

Liverpool predicted XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Chiesa; Nunez

On-loan Kepa Arrizabalaga will start again for Bournemouth after missing last week’s clash against his parent club Chelsea.

Enas Unal is expected to come in for Evanilson who missed a penalty in that game and was substituted after 68 minutes.

Bournemouth predicted XI: Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Christie, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Unal

Paddy Power’s football tipster Sam Farley is backing Mohamed Salah to score against Bournemouth.

“We don’t know what the future holds for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool but he’s playing as well as he has in recent seasons and the club will be desperate to hold onto him. The Egyptian has already found the back of the net three times this season.”

Liverpool v Bournemouth prediction

Anything other than a home win would be a big shock. The Reds might have slipped up last weekend but an impressive European debut in Milan will give them the confidence they need to brush past Bournemouth.

Paddy’s Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Bournemouth
