LIVERPOOL welcome Bournemouth to Anfield as they look to shake off their mini-slump.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have fallen to back-to-back defeats in all competitions, losing 3-0 at Watford last weekend as their quest for an unbeaten Premier League campaign ultimately fell short.

They weren’t themselves in the 2-0 FA Cup loss to Chelsea either and the German will be keen for them to return to winning ways at fortress Anfield.
Bournemouth remain deep in a relegation battle and are winless in three top-flight matches since a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa last month.
