Liverpool v Bournemouth: match preview

Liverpool v Bournemouth
Liverpool v Bournemouth: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Bournemouth’s first away game as a Premier League club takes them to Anfield where Eddie Howe will be looking for his newly-promoted side to rectify the profligacy that contributed to their opening defeat by Aston Villa. Liverpool created fewer chances in their first game at Stoke City but took the three points that matter and, for all the pressure on Brendan Rodgers going into the campaign, his club have an ideal chance to start with two wins for only the fifth time in the Premier League era.
