Jurgen Klopp’s side destroyed a hapless Manchester United 7-0 last weekend – a result no one saw coming.
Liverpool will be brimming with confidence when they travel to the Vitality Stadium to face the bottom side Bournemouth in the Premier League. This contest on Saturday will kick-start the proceedings for the league action at the weekend. The Reds will hope to begin this one with the way they ended their last match. Jurgen Klopp’s side destroyed a hapless Manchester United 7-0 last weekend – a result no one saw coming. After beating their old foes in this manner, the Reds will be full of confidence heading into this match.
That result could very well turn the season around for Liverpool following their mediocre run of form they have been experiencing so far this campaign. The Reds have been eliminated from both domestic cup competitions and are facing an extremely difficult task at overturning the deficit in the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid. Even in the Premier League, Klopp’s side are far away from the top spot. However, they have been on a good run recently, which reached new heights with the 7-0 victory over United.
Liverpool are on a five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, which includes four victories. They have 42 points from 25 games to be placed fifth in the standings. Meanwhile, this season has been extremely poor for Bournemouth, who are rooted to the foot of the table. They only have 21 points from 25 games to be sitting at the 20th spot in the standings. Bournemouth have already suffered a heavy defeat to Liverpool this season, hence they will be eager to avoid another on Saturday.

Besides, Bournemouth’s poor form of late does not help them either. Even the head to head is heavily in favour of the visitors.
