Key Points to Consider
Last 6: Liverpool, coming off a 5-2 home win vs Everton, have 5 wins and 1 draw in their last six. Their 1 draw was in UEFA Champions League vs Napoli, 1-1. Bournemouth are looking to get back on track after four straight losses, most recently 0-1 on the road vs Crystal Palace. Bournemouth have 4 losses, 1 win and 1 draw in their last 6.
