Premier League: Build-up to three games, including Liverpool v Bournemouth

Liverpool are back in Premier League action at Anfield on Saturday, hoping for a repeat againStill, while this has been a difficult summer for the Reds, this is a huge test for new Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola.

1st Bournemouth.

The last time the Cherries visited, Jurgen Klopp’s side ran out 9-0 winners, albeit they lost on the south coast earlier this year.

There were certainly elements of Liverpool’s performance at Chelsea that improved on last season, although the lack of a defensive midfielder is real worry.

Here’s everything you need to know…

Liverpool vs Bournemouth is scheduled for a 3pm kick-off time on Saturday August 19, 2023.
