Liverpool’s Predicted Lineup Against Bournemouth: Team News and Expected XI

Liverpool will visit Bournemouth on Saturday, looking for their first Premier League win of the year.

Arne Slot’s team has climbed back into the top four after a series of draws. They have drawn four league games in a row for the first time in many years. However, a strong midweek win in Marseille has lifted the spirits of the squad. Currently, Liverpool is on a 10-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League.

Team News for Liverpool

The team received a significant boost with the return of their top scorer. Mohamed Salah is set to make his first league start since November after recently coming back from the Africa Cup of Nations, where Egypt placed fourth. This adds extra attacking strength, though Federico Chiesa is a major doubt.

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker will continue, while Ibrahima Konaté is absent from the defense. Joe Gomez is expected to partner with Virgil van Dijk in defense. In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones could provide stability. Florian Wirtz and Dominik Szoboszlai will assist Hugo Ekitiké, who has netted eight league goals this season.

Predicted Lineup for Liverpool

Expected starting XI: Alisson; Frimpong, Gomez, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitiké
