Brendan Rodgers has called for his Liverpool squad to maintain their strong start to the season when they entertain Bournemouth on Monday.

The Reds kicked their campaign off with a 1-0 win over Stoke City last Sunday, and Rodgers wants to make it back-to-back wins when the newly-promoted Cherries visit Anfield on Monday.

Rodgers told reporters: "It's so, so important for you, your home form, if you're going to succeed and that's the aim for this season.

"Of course you want to learn and you review [last season] but the main attribute is confidence, it's the key facet.

"If you've got confidence that'll give you success and that confidence will come from working hard and getting victories at home, it's as simple as that."

Meanwhile, the Liverpool manager has dismissed talk of Lazar Markovic and Alberto Moreno leaving the club.
