After securing a place in the semi-final of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night, Liverpool’s focus will return back to the Premier League and the trip to the south coast to face Bournemouth.
Liverpool beat Bournemouth three times last season but all three games were tight games and although the current Reds’ side is a much improved unit, the home side have also gotten better so it won’t be an easy game on Sunday.
