The Premier League leaders make their return to the competition on Sunday, as Liverpool chase maximum points at the Vitality Stadium against Bournemouth. A victory for the Reds would send them five points clear of Manchester City at the summit.
A quiet period of league matches in January for Liverpool will step up a gear this weekend, as they look to extend their advantage at the top of the standings. The Reds come into the round sporting a two-point advantage at the summit, and that lead could be stretched to five points if they are able to pick up maximum points on road on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side comes into the round in excellent recent form after winning each of their last four across all competitions. That includes wins in each of their previous two in the Premier League. The Reds were excellent in their last league match, as they recorded a 4-2 home success against Newcastle. Mohamed Salah netted a brace in that success, but he is unavailable this weekend after traveling to the Ivory Coast for the Africa Cup of Nations.
This isn’t likely to be a straightforward assignment for Liverpool this weekend, as Bournemouth have shown excellent form in the Premier League throughout December and January. The Cherries have easily moved clear of the relegation places, and they could end the round just a point off the top half of the standings.
Bournemouth have picked up victories in four of their last five matches in the league, but a bounce back will be needed this weekend after losing their latest league match against Tottenham. But, there would be little surprise to see the Cherries get their season back on track at the Vitality.
Liverpool have lost once in the previous ten league meetings against Bournemouth. However, that defeat was suffered in this exact fixture last term. The Reds were professional in the first league meeting between the teams this season, landing a 3-1 victory at Anfield in August.
This won’t be an easy fixture for Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend, as Bournemouth have put in big performances against the top sides throughout the season. Therefore, we could see the points being shared at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday, and a 1-1 draw could be an interesting betting angle.
