A momentous start for James Milner as the Liverpool star records his 500th Premier League appearance, with the Reds set to face Bournemouth.
Jurgen Klopp has surprised people with his selection for the game against Bournemouth. Fabinho was expected to be in the starting lineup, but not on the right side of the back four. The Brazilian was originally a right-back before trying things out in midfield for AS Monaco and Saturday could well be a turning point for him as far as his Liverpool career is concerned.

James Milner starts in midfield to commemorate his 500th Premier League appearance, with Jurgen Klopp reverting to the 4-3-3 formation. Georginio Wijnaldum and Naby Keita make up the numbers in midfield.
In attack, the usual suspects are back after being partially rested during the midweek. But, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino are not accompanied by Sadio Mane, who continues to be replaced by Xherdan Shaqiri on the right side of the three-man attack.
