Bournemouth will welcome Liverpool to the Vitality Stadium on Sunday for their Gameweek 5 fixture in the English Premier League.
The Cherries are still searching for their first league victory of the season after remaining unbeaten but winless across their opening four Premier League matches. Bournemouth have developed a reputation as “draw specialists”, with three successive stalemates in the competition. They shared the points in entertaining 1-1 and 2-2 draws against Everton, Newcastle United, and Brentford.
However, Marco Rose’s side have looked much more confident in cup football. They scored freely in a convincing 4-0 EFL Cup victory over Lincoln City before making history with a 2-1 away win against Real Sociedad in their first-ever UEFA Europa League match during the week.
Bournemouth team news
Bournemouth boss Marco Rose must now manage his squad carefully after Thursday’s landmark European victory in Spain.
With player workloads being monitored closely, midfielder Tyler Adams could be given a place on the bench or potentially rested altogether after completing around an hour of demanding action against Real Sociedad.
The Cherries will definitely be missing several players for the visit of Liverpool. Junior Kroupi remains unavailable because of a foot injury, while Amine Adli is ruled out with a calf problem.
Veljko Milosavljevic has also been left out after suffering a knock, and Julián Araujo will miss the fixture due to a thigh strain.
There is more encouraging news regarding Justin Kluivert, however, as the attacking player is undergoing checks for minor fatigue but is generally expected to receive medical clearance and be included in the matchday squad.
Bournemouth predicted lineup
Possible Bournemouth starting XI: Petrovic; Diakite, Hill, Silva, Truffert; Christie, Scott; Rayan, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 2pm BST on Sunday, 20th September.
