Conor Bradley has broken into the side at right-back, with Joe Gomez at left-back. Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate form the centre-back partnership when both are available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alexis Mac Allister has returned to his role as a number six with Wataru Endo unavailable. Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, and Ryan Gravenberch have all shared minutes in midfield with Dominik Szoboszlai out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/09\/fabio-carvalho-liverpool-loan-hull-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2018Here We Go\u2019: Liverpool Set To Lose \u2018Unbelievable\u2019 Youngster To Championship Club<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool&#8217;s front three is variable. Luis Diaz has tied down the left wing, but Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez compete for the centre-forward spot. Elliott and Cody Gakpo have shared minutes on the right with Mohamed Salah away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch<\/strong>: Last Word on Football looks at the \u00a330+ Million Mistake from Jordan Henderson<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jordan Henderson&#039;s \u00a330+ Million Mistake\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cfE_PcAkcP8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool&#8217;s Recent Form and Tactics Before Bournemouth Fixture<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool were forced into another comeback against an inferior side in their cup tie with Fulham. Marco Silva&#8217;s side have now taken surprising leads at Anfield twice this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bradley filled in for Trent Alexander-Arnold as a shining light in the unconvincing victory. The 20-year-old created two chances and won six tackles and ten duels (all three were match-leading statistics). With an XA (expected assists) of 0.5 &#8211; Bradley showed both attacking and defensive competence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/02\/liverpool-january-transfer-window-defensive-reinforcements\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Eyeing Defensive Reinforcements For January Transfer Window<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The first half was void of creativity. Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s side had seven attempts, but five were potshots from outside the box, and two were from implausible angles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Caoimhin Kelleher conceded from a Willian shot to his near post in the 19th minute. This is not the only time the Irishman has failed to impress: in direct parallel to the cup fixture, Kelleher looked unconvincing against Fulham earlier this season- shipping three.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/03\/manchester-united-michael-olise-liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sir Jim Ratcliffe Wants To Hijack Liverpool\u2019s Move For \u00a343 Million \u2018Special Talent\u2019<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The second half was far more fruitful. Both goals came within 15 seconds of possession turnover as Liverpool displayed their counter-attacking speed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">An XG of 1.24 was created and not converted, with Bernd Leno making four saves, including preventing Nunez from finishing a big chance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, Klopp will need to ensure his side are more clinical against Bournemouth. The Cherries have scored within ten minutes against Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Liverpool this campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Injuries to Consider Ahead of Bournemouth Game<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Klopp revealed in his\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolfc.com\/news\/jurgen-klopps-update-squad-fitness-ahead-bournemouth-clash\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">press conference<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0that &#8220;I don&#8217;t expect anybody back&#8221; for the match against Bournemouth, but &#8220;some of them might be in kind of part of team training next week.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In positive news, the German manager labelled Szoboszlai, Alexander-Arnold, and Andy Robertson as &#8220;close&#8221; to returning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/02\/liverpool-owen-beck-loan-recall-dundee\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Get Back Player Whose \u2018Performances Are Making People Take Notice\u2019<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Kostas Tsimikas adds to the full-back issues as he will not be available after suffering a long-term collarbone injury in December.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Joel Matip is out for the season, whilst Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic have not even featured in the league this campaign due to injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wataru Endo and Mohamed Salah are away at the Asian Cup and African Cup of Nations respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Predicted Lineup<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">GK: Alisson Becker<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">LB: Joe Gomez<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CB: Virgil van Dijk<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CB: Ibrahima Konate<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">RB: Conor Bradley<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CM: Curtis Jones<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">DM: Alexis Mac Allister<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CM: Ryan Gravenberch<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">LW: Luis Diaz<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ST: Darwin Nunez<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">RW: Harvey Elliott<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool travel to the South Coast this weekend to play Bournemouth.
