Arne Slot only made one change from the win vs Marseille. Hugo Ekitiké drops to the bench and is replaced by Cody Gakpo. Ibrahima Konate is not on the team sheet due to personal reasons and Federico Chiesa is injured.

Bournemouth Confirmed Lineup

Petrovic, Truffert, Cook, Senesi, Scott, Evanilson, Smith, Jimenez, Adli, Kroupi Jr., Hill.

Liverpool Confirmed Starting XI

Starters:  Alisson, Gomez, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Frimpong, Gravenberch.

Subs: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Endo,  Jones, ,Ekitiké, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Ngumoha.

Starting XI:

  • GK: Alisson Becker
  • RB: Jeremie Frimpong
  • CB: Joe Gomez (Replaces Konaté)
  • CB: Virgil van Dijk (C)
  • LB: Milos Kerkez
  • CM: Alexis Mac Allister 
  • CM: Ryan Gravenberch
  • RW: Mohamed Salah 
  • AM: Dominik Szoboszlai
  • LW: Florian Wirtz
  • ST: Cody Gakpo (for Ekitiké)

The Verdict

Slot stayed put with his strongest lineup, except for the swap up top. This makes sense because Ekitiké had trouble holding his lines in the last match, so a break will do him good both physically and mentally.
