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
