Bournemouth
Bournemouth were forced into a late change at right-back against Burnley as Max Aarons trudged off to be replaced by Adam Smith, although it is unclear whether the former Norwich City man left the field with anything serious.
Regardless, Iraola will continue to cope without Tyler Adams (thigh), Emiliano Marcondes (foot), Ryan Fredericks (calf) and first-choice goalkeeper Neto (foot), with the latter's absence guaranteeing back-to-back starts for Inter Milan loanee Radu.
Lewis Cook must also serve the second of a three-game ban for his red card against Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Marcos Senesi is touch-and-go with a muscular problem, so Chris Mepham may be required at the back once more.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Radu; Smith, Zabarnyi, Mepham, Kerkez; Rothwell, Billing; Ouattara, Semenyo, Sinisterra; Solanke
Liverpool
As for Liverpool, Diaz was understandably not involved against Forest following news of his parents' kidnapping, and while the Colombia international's father remains missing, it is difficult to envision Klopp including him in the squad for the trip south.
All of Andrew Robertson (shoulder), Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Thiago Alcantara (hip) and Ben Doak (muscle) are absent too, but Curtis Jones has completed his lengthy domestic suspension and should benefit from some inevitable Reds rotation.
A second senior start could also come the way of Luke Chambers following his run-out against Toulouse, while Caoimhin Kelleher, Jarell Quansah and the fit-again Cody Gakpo are among those expected to enter the fray from the first whistle.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Kelleher; Gomez, Quansah, Matip, Chambers; Elliott, Endo, Jones; Salah, Nunez, Gakpo
Prediction: Bournemouth 1-3 Liverpool
