Bournemouth vs Liverpool: Match preview and confirmed team news as James Milner makes 500th Premier League appearance

Liverpool dug deep to claim a win over Burnley at Turf Moor during the week

However, Bournemouth’s last game saw them triumph against Huddersfield so they will have an extra spring in their step.They also have the incentive of leapfrogging Everton into sixth place if they can anything out of the game.Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp’s men – who will go top of the Premier League for a few hours at least with a win – may have one eye on their crucial Champions League match at home to Napoli on Tuesday night.

What the managers are saying

Eddie Howe (Bournemouth):“We are going to have to be absolutely excellent in every department. It is a big challenge for us.“We know their strengths, how good they can be. For us we are looking at a top performance and hopefully the result will come our way.”4
