Predicted Liverpool XI vs Bournemouth: Will Klopp make any changes?

Darwin Nunez will spearhead the Liverpool attack against Bournemouth when the two sides lock horns at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last six Premier League outings, and they will look to extend that run of form when they lock horns with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday evening. The Reds have a formidable record against their hosts, but they might have to grind out all three points against the rejuvenated Cherries.

Liverpool will be without several key players due to injury problems. Joel Matip has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic are expected to return to action next month.

Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss out. Kostas Tsimikas is nursing an injury as well. Meanwhile, Dominik Szoboszlai is expected to return to action next week. Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo are away on international duty. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp discussed his team news update during his pre-match press conference.

He said, “They are all positive but not ready. But they are all going in the right direction, getting closer and closer and closer. Some of them might be in kind of part of team training next week. But for the Bournemouth game I don’t expect anybody back. I hope nobody [else] will be out until then.”

“But after Bournemouth, maybe for Fulham, we will see how the boys do. But they are all close. Trent close, Dom close, Robbo close. All going in the right direction, that’s all positive, but for the weekend’s game, no.”

Alisson Becker will start in goal for Liverpool here. Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez will be deployed as the full-backs in the absence of Alexander-Arnold, Robertson and Tsimikas. Ibrahima Konate will start at the heart of the defence alongside Virgil van Dijk.

As for the midfield unit, Alexis Mac Allister will start in the holding role along with Curtis Jones, and Harvey Elliott. Jota and Elliott will look to add creativity to the side, while Mac Allister looks to control the tempo of the game and help out defensively. Finally, Darwin Nunez will lead the line for Liverpool against Bournemouth, with Diogo Jota, and Luis Diaz lining up out wide.
