Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is expected to rotate his squad but he is without the suspended Emre Can.
Joe Allen is likely to start in central midfield, while Christian Benteke is a doubt with a minor injury.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
- Liverpool have never lost a competitive match against Bournemouth, winning six times and drawing twice.
- The Cherries have scored just four goals in those eight meetings, and never more than once in a game.
- Liverpool have twice beaten Bournemouth 1-0 at Anfield this season, once in the league and again in the Capital One Cup.
- The Cherries have won four of their last six games.
- However, they have lost four of their seven most recent home fixtures. Prior to the weekend, only three clubs had suffered more home defeats this season than Bournemouth's tally of seven and only Everton and Villa have conceded more goals in front of their own fans.
- Six of the starting XI at Aston Villa last weekend were playing for Bournemouth in League One three years ago.
- Callum Wilson has scored five goals from just eight attempts at goal in the Premier League this season.
- The Reds have suffered only one defeat in their last seven league games, scoring 20 goals in the process (W4, D2).
- Liverpool won after a European fixture for only the second time in eight attempts this season at the expense of Stoke last weekend (W2, D4, L2).
- Only the top three sides going into the weekend have a better away record than Liverpool (W7, D3, L6).
- James Milner has been involved in 14 Premier League goals this season, scoring five and setting up nine. It's his best return for six seasons.
- Daniel Sturridge could start four successive league games in a single season for the first time in two years.
