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

        The coming out was ok, he made a meal of it once out though.

      Should've come out for Mané's goal.

      Should've stayed put for Origi's.

  21. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    As a Firmino owner, may I tell others... Just chill. This could be a rout.

    1. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yea let's hope so.
      4/6 attackers have been involved in the 2 goals , only Firmino and Wijnaldum still to contribute :/

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

  22. MOZIL
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Firmino to Sanchez or KDB to Sanchez?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Can you do both?

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

  23. Toure The Route
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Can gets an assist.
    Anyone looking at him as a budget enabler ?
    Surely this makes a great case for him after his recent stats.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Already got him 😉

      1. Toure The Route
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I think I'm jumping too .
        Got a feeling Capoue is the poor man's Can now.

    2. Paul
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      got him 😉

  24. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Amazing work ethic from Liverpool. 2 up and still pressing like they're down.

  25. Royal5
    • 14 Years

  26. Ravager
    • 11 Years

  29. Shultan
    • 10 Years

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

      Nah he'll get in the action. Hopefully just an assist for another Mane goal.

    2. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No he will get involved .
      Pls Stop jinxing these things already because it happened once or twice before.
