Bournemouth heads into the match without a Premier League win this season, though they have secured three draws in recent rounds and a victory over Real Sociedad in the Europa League. The hosts have scored in every one of their six matches this season, and both teams have found the net in 10 of their last 12 league games. Bournemouth is particularly dangerous at home, having scored in both of their Premier League home fixtures so far this season.
Liverpool has shown defensive inconsistency; they have kept only one clean sheet in their last 11 Premier League away games. However, the Reds' attack is potent, with Alexander Isak in fine form, having scored three goals in four rounds.
The head-to-head record points to a high-scoring affair: at least three goals were scored in six of the last seven meetings between these teams, and last season's match at the Vitality Stadium ended in a 3–2 victory for Bournemouth.
