This is the latest Liverpool team news ahead of their Premier League tie with Bournemouth. We will also attempt a predicted lineup for this one as the Reds look to build on their momentum following a big win in midweek against Marseille. Arne Slot hasn’t actually lost since the 4-0 embarrassment against PSV but will need to start turning some of those draws into wins if he wants to make any sort of upward push.<\/p>\n
Alisson has started in goal in big matches since his return from injury and is likely to continue doing so here. Miloks Kerkez, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Jeremie Frimpong is the first choice back four with Joe Gomez and Andy Robertson filling in when needed as rotation.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong>Liverpool Team News & Predicted Lineup vs Marseille for January 21<\/a><\/p>\n Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Grabenberch, and Curtis Jones operate as the base of the midfield with Dominik Szoboszlai operating further forward.

It is an onslaught that is designed to overload opponents, stretching their back line until it breaks under the pressure. It can leave them prone to transitions but the positives can outweigh the negatives if done right.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong>‘I Don’t Think Any of Liverpool\u2019s Summer Signings…’: Robbie Fowler Gives Honest Opinion<\/a><\/p>\n Two wins in five doesn’t look promising on the surface but the Reds haven’t lost in 13 since a crushing defeat to PSV Eindhoven. Their goalscoring exploits have seen them blast past most defenses but their own back line has often been lacking, they tend to match their opponent with some 0-0 draws mixed with a 2-2 and even a 3-3.<\/p>\nHow Liverpool Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n
