TEAM NEWS

Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola makes three changes from Gameweek 4.

Kostas Tsimikas, Ryan Gravenberch and Victor Munoz drop to the bench.

For Bournemouth, Marco Rose brings in Ryan Christie for Justin Kluivert, who is absent from the matchday squad.

The Eagles’ two alterations see Tahehiro Tomiyasu and Jaydee Canvot replace Honest Ahanor and Axel Disasi, who is suspended.
