Liverpool head to the South Coast in the knowledge that a win against Bournemouth on Saturday would send them into the Premier League top four - if only until Tottenham play Nottingham Forest later that afternoon.

They'll be high in confidence, too, having hammered rivals Man Utd 7-0 at Anfield last weekend and beaten the Cherries 9-0 in the reverse fixture back in August.

The Reds may well have rediscovered their best at just the right time, with the second leg of their Champions League tie with Real Madrid on Wednesday and a pivotal period in the race for the top four ahead.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, suffered a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Premier League leaders Arsenal last weekend as Reiss Nelson's 97th-minute winner secured a 3-2 comeback win that could be vital to their title hopes.

Gary O'Neil's side are bottom of the table but will look forward to putting a tough three-game run, which has seen them face Man City, the Gunners and now Liverpool, behind them.

Bournemouth v Liverpool prediction

Liverpool's destruction of Man Utd at Anfield last weekend is ominous for Bournemouth.

They know exactly how dangerous Jurgen Klopp's side can be, having conceded nine against them in August, and the Reds really looked back to their best on Sunday.

We saw last weekend that they can trouble the division's top teams but you feel it's vital that the Cherries make a strong start because if they concede early at the Vitality Stadium, heads may go down and the floodgates could open.
