Returning to Merseyside after a successful start to their Champions League campaign, Liverpool host Bournemouth in a Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds added another stunning comeback to their European campaign against AC Milan with a 3-1 win in Europe on Tuesday, while Bournemouth have had a week to reflect on their painful 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.
Latest Liverpool vs Bournemouth squad information
Liverpool new boy Federico Chiesa was not considered ready to feature against Manchester United or Nottingham Forest, but the Italian finally made his debut for the Reds as a late substitute at the San Siro, and will now be in contention for a starting spot.
With Chiesa back to full fitness, broken leg victim Harvey Elliott is the only player the hosts need to worry about on Saturday, with Slot expected to field a full-strength squad before making changes for next week's EFL Cup tie with West Ham United.
Kostas Tsimikas was a surprise starter against Milan, but Andrew Robertson is certain to replace his Greek team-mate at left-back this weekend, while Luis Diaz is also likely to drop Cody Gakpo to the bench despite the Dutchman's assist for Szoboszlai on Tuesday.
For Bournemouth, manager Iraola will welcome goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, on loan from Chelsea, back into the squad after the Spaniard was ineligible to play against his parent club last weekend, with Mark Travers playing well in his place.
However, Kepa is certain to reclaim his starting place from Travers at Anfield, where Tyler Adams (back) and Dango Ouattara (ankle) will be Bournemouth's only injury absentees.
Evanilson had another disappointing performance last weekend, missing a penalty before being substituted in the 68th minute. He now faces stiff competition in attack from Enes Unal, who has just recovered from injury.
Latest Liverpool vs Bournemouth predicted lineup
Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Nunez
Bournemouth:
Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Christie, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Unal
Latest Liverpool vs Bournemouth football commentary
Ahead of Liverpool's latest clash with historic rivals Milan, Arne Slot has insisted that celebrating his birthday will not be a priority at the San Siro, but the Reds' new boss can still enjoy European glory after his side's dramatic comeback.
The six-time European champions struggled when Christian Pulisic opened the scoring, but headers from Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate changed the game in the first half before Dominik Szoboszlai's finish sealed Slot's birthday victory.
Although not as spectacular as Istanbul 2005, beating the Rossoneri away from home was the right response after last weekend's defeat, when The Reds tried but could not penetrate Nottingham Forest's defence and lost to a Callum Hudson-Odoi wonder goal in their first defeat under Slot.
However, Liverpool are still fourth - the final Champions League spot - in the early standings of the season, just one point behind Arsenal and Newcastle United and two behind Manchester City, and share the best defensive record with Arsenal.
Along with Arsenal, Liverpool have conceded just one goal in the 2024-25 Premier League, while they have faced just 28 shots and 10 on target - both league bests - but their next opponents, Bournemouth, could also be feeling the sting of late 1-0 home defeats.
Like their more prestigious opponents, Bournemouth should have deserved to win against an underperforming Chelsea side at the Vitality Stadium last week, with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez turning from villain to hero by saving a penalty after making a mistake himself.
In the end, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca had to rely on his expensive bench, as substitutes Jadon Sancho and Christopher Nkunku combined to give Chelsea a last-minute win, ending Bournemouth's unbeaten run in the 2024-25 season.
If Andoni Iraola's side hold on in the final minutes, they will go four games unbeaten in the Premier League for the first time in their history, but the 11th-placed visitors will have no time for regrets ahead of a challenging trip north.
Still with just one win this season - a stunning comeback against Everton - Bournemouth could join Arsenal in 2012 and Manchester City in 2021, becoming only the third team in Premier League history to win consecutive away games against both Merseyside sides.
However, none of the meetings between Bournemouth and Liverpool last season yielded positive results for Iraola's side, with the Reds coming from behind to win 3-1 at Anfield, followed by 2-1 and 4-0 away wins in the EFL Cup and Premier League.
Aside from Hudson-Odoi’s excellent finish last weekend, Liverpool’s defensive solidity has been a highlight under Slot in the Premier League. The win at the San Siro was a perfect response, and they will be hoping for a home performance to match on Saturday.
Bournemouth have kept their games very close in 2024-25 and are unlikely to be hammered by Liverpool, but it is difficult to imagine Bournemouth leaving Anfield with any points.
