Team news & injuries Bournemouth absentees: Marcus Tavernier (hamstring), Tyler Adams, Justin Kluivert (both knee), Will Dennis & David Brooks (ankle), Ben Gannon-Doak (thigh). Enes Unal is a groin doubt. Liverpool absentees: Alexander Isak (calf), Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni (knee). Federico Chiesa faces a late test, while Ibrahima Konate remains unavailable for personal reasons. Mohamed Salah is primed for his first league start in two months. Probable XIs Bournemouth: Petrovic; Smith, Hill, Senesi, Truffert; Scott, Cook; Jimenez, Kroupi, Adli; Evanilson. Liverpool: Alisson; Frimpong, Gomez, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike. Key battles 1. Evanilson vs Van Dijk – the Brazilian’s movement must disorganise Liverpool’s high line. 2. Szoboszlai vs Scott – winning the midfield press will dictate territory. 3. Salah vs Truffert – with Chiesa doubtful, Salah’s cutting infield runs are Liverpool’s primary threat. Tactics snapshot • Bournemouth likely retain Iraola’s 4-2-3-1 but will compress centrally, inviting Liverpool’s full-backs forward before springing counter-attacks through Adli and Kroupi. • Slot’s Reds push Frimpong high, creating a 3-2-5 in possession; watch for Wirtz drifting between the lines to link with Salah. Odds & prediction Bookmakers list Liverpool 17/20 favourites, Bournemouth 29/10, Draw 29/10. With the Cherries’ injury crisis and Liverpool’s mid-week momentum, expect the visitors to edge a tight contest. Score forecast: Bournemouth 1-2 Liverpool.
