Here is how Bournemouth and Liverpool will line up this afternoon:

Bournemouth welcome Liverpool to the Vitality Stadium this afternoon for their latest Premier League clash and both sides have the attacking intent to make this a very memorable encounter.

Bournemouth may be down in 16th place but they play football the right way and should give Liverpool a real test later today.

In contrast Liverpool are sixth with 31 points as things stand, and Jurgen Klopp’s side will understand the importance of building some momentum heading into the busy festive period.

A win for Bournemouth could lift them up to 12th in the table while Liverpool will jump back into the top four, replacing Arsenal who won narrowly against Newcastle United 24 hours earlier.

Bournemouth have fond memories of this fixture last season, when they took advantage of Liverpool’s defensive frailty to win 4-3.

That said, the Reds have an otherwise impressive record against Bournemouth and they will no doubt want revenge for that famous encounter.
