Team News
Liverpool
Liverpool will again be without the services of Darwin Nunez due to his red card against Palace, while the team's injury problems are showing no signs of easing.
Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota, Joel Matip, Curtis Jones, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ibrahima Konate and Calvin Ramsay will again be absent, while Caoimhin Kelleher remains a doubt.
Fabinho started on the bench against Man United but should be back in the starting XI here; Klopp does not have many other options for change, though, so it is expected to be close to the same side that took to the field at Old Trafford despite the disappointing performance.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Firmino, Diaz
AFC Bournemouth
Bournemouth's Joe Rothwell, Ryan Fredericks, David Brooks and Junior Stanislas will again be absent, but Jamal Lowe should be back with the squad after recovering from illness.
Parker also revealed during his press conference that Dominic Solanke is pushing to be available following an ankle issue, with the forward expected to start on the bench.
There were a number of changes for the team's EFL Cup contest with Norwich on Tuesday, but those rested should be back in the side here, with Kieffer Moore expected to operate at the tip of the attack.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Travers; Mepham, Senesi, Kelly; Smith, Pearson, Lerma, Zemura; Tavernier, Moore, Christie
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Bournemouth
