Bournemouth vs Liverpool preview

I think it’s quite clear what everyone’s thinking ahead of Saturday’s showdown between Bournemouth and Liverpool.

There’s no possible way that this isn’t a classic.

They might also be questioning why on earth it isn’t being televised in the UK, but that’s a story for a different time.

In any case, an absolutely irresistible force and a winning machine do battle in front of 11,379 lucky people at a sold-out Vitality Stadium this Saturday.

Bournemouth arrive in tremendous form having produced masterclasses against both Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, winning 4-1 and 5-0 on successive weekends.

Andoni Iraola’s side extended their club-record unbeaten run to 11 Premier League games, a run which leaves them in seventh position and just one off the Champions League qualification places.

Iraola’s “blizzard of attacking football” has seen them take the scalps of Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle this season.

And there’s real optimism they can add Premier League leaders Liverpool to that growing list this weekend – all while juggling an injury crisis.

However, Bournemouth have lost 11 of their 12 Premier League games against sides starting the day top of the table.

Perhaps the biggest indicator of Bournemouth’s progress is the fact Liverpool manager Arne Slot left NINE of his regular first team squad out for their trip to PSV.

The Reds missed the chance to finish the Champions League’s inaugural league phase with a 100% record, and it’s quite clear that was because the game on the south coast is of much more significance.

Liverpool hold a six-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal heading into this weekend’s round of top-flight fixtures.

And fresh legs will be required to maintain that lead given the club play seven games in February, including league matches against Merseyside rivals Everton, Manchester City and Newcastle.

History suggests they’ll kick-start that run in a positive fashion.

Liverpool have only failed to score in one of their 15 Premier League meetings with Bournemouth, netting at least three goals in 10 of these 15 games. They’ve also won 11 of their last 12 games against the Cherries.

Carded

Ryan Christie is our selection for a card at the Vitality Stadium this weekend. The 29-year-old has picked up eight bookings in 22 Premier League appearances this season – including one in the reverse fixture at Anfield and three in his last five.

Only three top-flight players have committed more fouls than Christie (11) over the last four league games.

Tackles

It should be an extremely busy afternoon for Bournemouth’s Tyler Adams.

The midfielder, 25, has made the most tackles per 90 minutes (4.8) and most interceptions per 90 minutes (2.7) of any Premier League player this season. He’s made 10 tackles in Bournemouth’s last two games against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, and should be fired up against this attacking Liverpool side.
