Arne Slot, now in his second season at the helm, has wasted no time reinforcing his squad, with the Reds making a bold statement in the transfer market. Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, and Florian Wirtz have all joined the club as Liverpool look to build on last season's domestic success. However, it wasn't a straightforward start to the campaign for the Reds with Crystal Palace defeating them on penalties in the curtain-raiser that is the Community Shield.
It has been a much quieter summer over at The Vitality Stadium. Under the guidance of Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth have become something of a force in England's top flight and will be hoping to build on recent years. The Cherries enjoyed a record-breaking Premier League campaign last season, finishing with 56 points, but they struggled against Slot's side, losing 2-0 and 3-0 in their respective games.
As for team news, Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are Liverpool's only fitness concerns ahead of kickoff, while Enes Unal and Ryan Christie are expected to miss out for the visitors.
