It's safe to say Liverpool are on form at the moment!
It’s safe to say Liverpool are on form at the moment. Their solitary defeat in 20 league matches this season came against Tottenham on 30 September when they were reduced to nine men.
Liverpool have also shown they are capable of coming from behind. They have trailed in 10 Premier League games this campaign but have won an unrivalled 19 points from losing positions.

Liverpool have arrived!

A win this afternoon will see Liverpool break their 2022-2023 tally for games won away from home!
Liverpool will be eager to pick up all three points this afternoon as it will put them five points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Additiobally, a sixth away league win of the season would match Liverpool’s tally for the whole of 2022-2023 campaign.

Bournemouth boss Iraola claims his side much new heights to be able to beat Liverpool this afternoon…
I’m quite happy with the two games we played against Liverpool, especially the second one in the Carabao Cup. But even then we were not even able to tie the game.
We have to be at our best because they are at the top of the league and the most in-form team. If we want to beat them it’s not enough to be at our level, we have to be really good because it takes a lot to win these games.
15:19
Liverpool will be without Mo Salah… but's not as much of a problem as you would think!
Mo Salah will not be featuring for Liverpool this evening. He has been away representing Egypt at the African Cup of Nations. During that time, he has also managed to pick up a hamstring injury!
But, that’s not what we are getting at here. We have been looking at how Liverpool fare without him. And… it seems they cope pretty well actually!
Liverpool are unbeaten in their 10 Premier League games without him since he joined the club (W7, D3), winning the last four in a row.
15:14
A little look at the view from the away end of the Vitality Stadium…
15:13
Dominic Solanke is looking to make history this evening! But his track record against Liverpool's isn't great…
Dominic Solanke could become the first Bournemouth player to score in four consecutive home appearances in the Premier League. However, he’s only managed one goal in 21 top-flight outings against Liverpool.
15:09
How do these two teams usually fare against each other? Look away Bournemouth fans!
Bournemouth have lost eight of their last nine league meetings with Liverpool. The only exception was their 1-0 win in last season’s corresponding fixture.
But, that was unusual! That result was one of only two victories by the Cherries in their 21 matches against Liverpool. Their other triumph over the Red came at home in December 2016.
15:05
Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool are refreshed and ready to go after 'top class training' this week…
Friday was the third session since we are back and you could see it was really important to everybody, for everybody As much as they like going on holiday, the thing they like most is actually playing football and that’s really cool to see.
Nobody wanted to have three or four weeks, we are in the middle of a season (and) we love what happened so far. We are looking forward to what’s coming up, but these four days were just top class. We had a break and now we can go for the rest of the season.
15:02
The stage has been set…
15:02
