'That's the most important thing' - Mark Lawrenson makes Bournemouth v Liverpool prediction

Mark Lawrenson believes that Liverpool's tightened-up defence will be key to Jurgen Klopp's side securing an away win at Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Reds can temporarily move into the Premier League top four for the first time this season if they can claim three points against the Cherries on the south coast in the lunch-time kick-off, before Tottenham have the chance to respond against Nottingham Forest at 3pm.

Only a few weeks ago, Liverpool lay 10th in the table, with their hopes of qualifying for next year's Champions League appearing to be in tatters, but a run of four wins and a draw in their last five matches has been achieved without conceding a single goal and former Red Lawrenson thinks that will give the recharged Reds the edge at the Vitality Stadium.
