How Liverpool could line up against Bournemouth

How Liverpool could line up against Bournemouth

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has no fresh injury concerns to work around for Saturday's Premier League showdown with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

The Reds are still without the services of Joe Gomez, Calvin Ramsay, Luis Diaz and Thiago Alcantara, while Arthur is still waiting to make his first-team comeback from thigh surgery as well.

Naby Keita will also need assessing as he battles back from a muscular concern, and Klopp may also have one eye on next week's Champions League showdown with Real Madrid.

However, few alterations should be considered following last weekend's 7-0 thumping of Manchester United, as Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk protect Alisson Becker in goal.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson should bomb down the flanks as ever, while Jordan Henderson and an improving Fabinho can feel confident of holding their spots in midfield.

Harvey Elliott also produced the goods against Man United and could keep Stefan Bajcetic at bay, while Mohamed Salah will aim to steer further clear as Liverpool's highest Premier League goalscorer of all time.

The Egyptian surpassed Robbie Fowler's 128 with a brace last weekend, while Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo also brought up doubles and should complete an unchanged XI, despite the threat of Diogo Jota and soon-to-be free agent Roberto Firmino.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez
