Eddie Howe’s side are the latest side to be tasked with trying to stop Jurgen Klopp’s free-scoring Reds.

Having been defeated by Arsenal last weekend, Bournemouth face another tough test against a team flying high in the Premier League when Liverpool visit the Vitality Stadium on Sunday lunchtime.

The Cherries reverse at the Emirates was their third defeat in four league games, while in contrast Liverpool have not lost since the second weekend of the season.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are the top scorers in the division so far with 32 goals and continued their momentum by seeing off Leeds in the EFL Cup quarter-finals in midweek.

The Key Battle – Jack Wilshere vs Jordan Henderson

This duo were regarded as two of England’s brightest prospects a few seasons ago but, while Henderson now captains Liverpool and appears regularly for the national side, Wilshere is trying to rebuild his career on the south coast after regular injury setbacks.

The Arsenal loanee will be eager to prove he can still cut it against the top sides, and there would be no better time for him to get his first goal for the Cherries than this Sunday.
