Andoni Iraola will make his first return to Bournemouth since leaving the south-coast club for Liverpool. Four games into the new season, the Reds remain a work in progress.
Liverpool have won just one of their opening four league fixtures while Bournemouth are still searching for their first league victory under new manager Marco Rose. Both teams are struggling to build some early season momentum.
The last 10 meetings between Bournemouth and Liverpool have produced 40 goals, suggesting Sunday’s encounter could be a back-and-forth affair between two teams searching for a new identity.

What to watch for
Bournemouth have led in all four Premier League matches they have played this season, but have failed to convert any of those games into three points. The Cherries have showcased their quality in periods of games. Frustration over a lack of points on the board, however, is building.
Similar could be said about Liverpool. Iraola has yet to find the right tactical set-up to make the most of the talent on offer, with the central midfield unit particularly unbalanced. Liverpool don’t have the platform to play the way Iraola wants.
Liverpool’s issues away from home predate Iraola. Indeed, the Anfield outfit have won just four times on the road in the Premier League since last Christmas. However, they have won nine of their previous 12 visits to the Vitality Stadium.
Player to watch: Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool – Szoboszlai’s stunning strike against Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup during the week highlighted the match-winning quality of the Hungarian midfielder who has been Liverpool’s most consistent performer over the last 12 months.
