Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino return as Jurgen Klopp makes five changes for Liverpool's meeting with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium this afternoon.

The forward duo were rested for the midweek trip to Burnley but come back into the starting XI on the south coast, while Sadio Mane has proven fit enough to make the bench in a big boost to the visitors' options.

Elsewhere, Andy Robertson reclaims his starting berth at left-back, while Joel Matip continues at centre-half in the absence of Joe Gomez and Dejan Lovren.

Fabinho also takes Jordan Henderson's place at the base of the midfield, with Naby Keita trusted to build on his breakout performance at Turf Moor in a second consecutive league start.

Liverpool have been offered further encouragement in the absence of Cherries striker Callum Wilson, who misses out on a place in the squad through injury.

AFC Bournemouth: Begovic, Francis, Steve Cook, Ake, Daniels, Stanislas, Lerma, Surman, Fraser, Brooks, King.

Subs: Boruc, Pugh, Mousset, Ibe, Defoe, Rico, Mings.

Liverpool: Alisson, Fabinho, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita, Shaqiri, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Mane, Henderson, Sturridge, Lallana, Mignolet, Origi, Alexander-Arnold.

Referee: Lee Mason (Lancashire)
