Mohamed Salah starts a Premier League match for the first time since November in the late kick-off.

The Egyptian gets to face one of his favoured opponents, too, as Liverpool head south to face Bournemouth.

Kick-off is at 17:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Salah is part of a Liverpool side that is mostly the same as the one Arne Slot sent out to face Marseille.

There is one alteration, however, with Cody Gakpo coming in for Hugo Ekitike. The French striker drops to the bench.

Joe Gomez starts again at centre-half, with Ibrahima Konate absent on compassionate grounds.

Andrew Robertson is among the substitutes despite reports linking him with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

There’s also one change for Bournemouth tonight.

It’s an enforced one, as Adam Smith replaces the injured Marcus Tavernier.

That’ll presumably see Alex Jimenez push up the right flank, with Smith taking over duties at full-back.

New signing Alex Toth is on the bench for the Cherries.

It’s 11 goals in 12 Premier League starts for Salah against this evening’s hosts, one of which came in the reverse fixture back in Gameweek 1.

Liverpool as a team have scored 2+ goals in 16 of their last 17 meetings with Bournemouth.

LINE-UPS

Bournemouth XI: Petrovic, Smith, Hill, Senesi, Truffert, Scott, Cook, Jimenez, Kroupi, Adli, Evanilson.

Subs: Forster, Christie, Diakite, Unal, Toth, Milosavljevic, Sadi, Rees-Dottin, DaCosta.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Frimpong, Gomez, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Gakpo, Salah.

Subs: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Endo, Jones, Ekitike, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Ngumoha.

    As a Wirtz, Ekitike owner that was painful.

  4. Mr. O'Connell

    10 from 6 Inc (c) any good?

    1. fedolefan

      Who hauled for you?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        1 day, 6 hours ago

        Cherki CS was massive

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          1 day, 6 hours ago

          That man can't be stopped.

      No. 21 from 3 here and that’s a red arrow.

      I’ve got Sboz, so faring a bit better. But still an absolute stinker of a week with 3 players benched and no other returns (so far)

    4. fedolefan

      Should say will be 20 from 7 inc (c) after Selz plays.

    That was the Wirtz pass I’ve seen all weekend

  7. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    1 day, 6 hours ago

    That ‘pass’ from Wirtz was possibly the worst I’ve ever seen from a premier league player. Isn’t he supposed to be an elite playmaker or something?

    Gtfo of my team Cherki and Ekitike, don't even care that I have to take a hit this GW

      • 6 Years
      1 day, 6 hours ago

      Harsh. Really needs a comma in there

  12. Albrightondknight

      1 day, 6 hours ago

      Yes! At least they lose! If I can't get Ekitike return, that is equally as good for me

    11. Qaiss

      Virgil is a disgrace. Every time another team scores a goal, he shouts at the referee or linesman. Huge sore loser

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 day, 6 hours ago

        At least he scored finally. Not enough, but better than nothing.

      Slot done?

      1. Raoul Nogues
          1 day, 6 hours ago

          Slot is Lost

        Doesn’t do anything for me in Fantasy, but still puts a big smile on my face to see Pool lose another game 🙂
