The showdown between Liverpool and Bournemouth will not be broadcast live in the UK as it will kick off on Saturday 21st September at 3pm.
How both teams go into Liverpool vs Bournemouth
Arne Slot couldn’t have wished for a better start as Liverpool manager, with his side heading into September’s international break with a 100% record. Having undertaken the unenviable task of succeeding Jürgen Klopp in the Anfield hot seat, the former Feyenoord boss started with a pair of 2-0 wins over newly promoted Ipswich and Brentford at home before going to Old Trafford and running out 3-0 winners. He subsequently became the first Liverpool manager to win his first meeting with United since Bob Paisley in November 1975, and just the second to do so away from home after George Kay in November 1936. Meanwhile, Liverpool won their opening three Premier League games without conceding for the first time since 2018-19, when they finished as runners-up to Manchester City on 97 points.
Bournemouth, entering their second campaign with Andoni Iraola at the helm, began tentatively with back-to-back 1-1 draws against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, though the Cherries felt hard done by in the latter with a late Dango Ouattara goal controversially disallowed. However, they put that result behind them with an incredible comeback win on their most recent visit to Merseyside when Everton was beating them by 2+ goals until the 87th minute before striking three unanswered goals, including two in stoppage time—something they’ve never done before in Premier League history. It proved to be the latest time a team has ever been two or more goals ahead in a game they’ve gone on to lose in Premier League history.
Liverpool host Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday 21st September at 3pm.
