Liverpool XI vs Bournemouth: confirmed lineup, team news and injury update....

Jurgen Klopp could not be blamed for selecting the same starting line-up that thrashed Manchester United when he picks his Liverpool team to face Bournemouth on Saturday.

Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah all helped themselves to braces as the Reds put on a stunning second-half display last weekend, raising expectations ahead of their trip to the South Coast.

Bournemouth are among the lowest scorers at home in the Premier League so Liverpool should be able to pick a forward-thinking line-up, once again including Harvey Elliott from the start.

Naby Keita is nearing a return to fitness but both would likely have to settle for a place on the bench if they make the Cherries clash.

Joe Gomez, Arthur Melo, Thiago Alcantara, Calvin Ramsay and Luis Diaz are all out long-term.

Speaking about Thiago, Diaz and Gomez on Friday, Klopp said: “All three not available.

“Different stages I would say. Joey might be able to train at the beginning of the week; Luis I hope during next week. After the international break, then obviously for both [it's] possible.

“Thiago we will see. None of them trained yet with the team and we will see how that develops in the couple of weeks and we will know more.

“Apart from that, from the last game nothing [new] that I heard about.”

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez.
