After yesterday’s dramatic events, Sunday treats us to two more top-flight fixtures with Bournemouth hosting Liverpool in the early kick-off.

Still reeling from the loss of Philippe Coutinho to an ankle injury, Jurgen Klopp’s side will be looking to Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane to make the difference.

Fully recovered from a minor calf complaint, Firmino has netted in two of his last three road trips. Mane, though, needs to up his output on the road, having failed to score outside of Anfield since the season opener at Arsenal.

Divock Origi has the chance to flourish as a short-term option up top – having netted in the last two across all competitions, the Belgian leads the line at the Vitality this afternoon.

Bournemouth will be no pushovers, though – over their last five home matches, Eddie Howe’s men have chalked up a trio of clean sheets and conceded just three times.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        If firm isnt subbed off he's getting a YC to add insult to injury for us owners

        Does Can get benched for Lallana?

        1. darthwader
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          My only worry. If not , then Can is a great budget option. Great stats

        Is can nailed on?

        1. Alnair
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          You'd think Wijnaldum would be the first guy dropped for Lallana so probably...

      7. darthwader
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Mane limping ?

      8. ihateramsey2
        • 10 Years

        Is Can the real deal or the new Allen/Gundogan?

      9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        Mane injured

      10. SirStevieG
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        3 goals and Firmino hasn't even looked like getting a return. Useless.

      11. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        These are the great things to own both mane and firmino. OMDZ

        Played Can over Siggy! 🙂 😎

      13. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I think Firmino's going off soon.

        1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Mane probably.

      14. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!

        Mane gave a scare to his owners

      15. Shakshuka

        9 years, 4 months ago

        Clyne - > Alonso for free reasonable? No other Chelsea coverage

      16. Numb

        Lallana warming up.

        @WR

        You have Can as part of your BB this week right?

      18. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Mane fine

      19. niloh1
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Is firmino essential? I feel like there are so many other options for Liverpool mid

        1. Arteta
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No he's not.

        2. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Returns changing from mid to mid from game to game...

        3. Pariße
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Nowhere near essential, looked a bargain, but he's not world class to be scoring freely every week. He is good to have though, his price and ability still make him the best Liv mid option atm.

        Sick of football, worst sport ever.....

      21. Coaly
        • 13 Years

        Thank you Mane. Finally repaying the investment over Firmino

      22. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Selling Mane and keeping Firmino worked out well

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          You can't have your Can and Mane too.
          Oh you can and binge yourself
          I own neither by the way.

          Not sure if I like what I see in Firminos' new position...
