Some conspicuous absentees: Joe Gomez is out for Liverpool with a fractured leg, while Sadio Mane has also failed to recover from from a foot injury, despite making the trip to Bournemouth. Xherdan Shaqiri starts in his place, while Joel Matip partners Virgil van Dijk in defence. Elsewhere, Fabinho, Naby Keita, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah return to the starting line-up, with Alberto Moreno, Divock Origi, Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge making way from the team that laboured to victory against Burnley in midweek.
In the Bournemouth ranks, Callum Wilson is notable absentee. Junior Stanislas comes in for the striker. In midfield, Andrew Surman replaces Lewis Cook, who has been sidelined with a serious knee injury.
