Liverpool continue to navigate a tough December with a trip to Bournemouth on Saturday.
A weakened XI easily brushed rivals Everton aside in the Merseyside derby, winning 5-2, though conceding goals continues to be a blip on an otherwise near-perfect league campaign thus far.
Liverpool play nine games, across four competitions, in December but should not face too much of a challenge against a Cherries side without a goal - and shipping 14 in the process - over the past four meetings.
Bournemouth have lost their last four on the trot in the league and have just one win - over Manchester United - since September.
The game is on Saturday, December 7, with kick-off at 3pm.
Team news and lineups
Bournemouth: Eddie Howe is managing a lengthy injury list, with right-back Adam Smith the latest name on it. Jack Stacey could come in.
Harry Wilson is ineligible to face his current club so Arnaut Groeneveld could switch wings and Ryan Fraser come in on the left. Dominic Solanke could face his former side.
Liverpool: Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick in this fixture last season and will be pushing for a start after being rested against Everton. Roberto Firmino is also expected to come back in.
Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also sat out the derby, with Gini Wijnaldum and James Milner preferred, and will be pushing for a start. Alisson Becker is available again after his one-match ban and should come straight into the side.
How we think the sides could line up…
Bournemouth: Ramsdale; Stacey, Mepham, Ake, Rico; Groeneveld, Lerma, Billing, Fraser; Solanke, Wilson
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Keita; Salah, Firmino, Mane
