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

      That goal line technology robbed us of a perfectly good goal 🙁

      Caught Sanchez captain this week. Managed to claw back some ground. Thoughts on the set up now;

      Foster

      Azpi / Cedric / Stones

      Hazard / Sancz / Siggy / Frimi

      Costa / Tekke / Austin

      Jaku / Pieters / Capoue / Kingsley

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

        You mean esp when it's not your team, Liverpool should have this game won...

      given next 4 fixtures, who to drop for Haz?

      1 Walcot: STK - eve - mci
      2 Firmino WHU - mid - eve

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Walcott

    • Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Do LIV not have better 3rd CB than Lucas? Surely they must have a young prospect worth a go?
      Seems an oversight to go into a season like this

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        maybe should have played Klavan

      2. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        They bought one didn't they?

      3. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Ah ok, thought they had someone!

    • Jay_
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Origi just over, from Lovren assist

      • Shultan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Firmino defo not 100% today, if cout & llalana wern't injured then klopp would've given him more recovery time.
        So us firm owners should be patient & give him the west ham match atleast
