Liverpool start as favourites as we look at the predicted playing 11 and key match details for Liverpool vs Bournemouth match from EPL 2022-23. 

Recent Performances:

Who would have thought that when we enter Gameweek 4, Bournemouth will be a better-placed team in the premier league table than Liverpool? But that’s how things are at the moment with Bournemouth sitting at 15th position which is one place better than their opponents for this Gameweek.

It’s the worst start of the season for the Reds since 2012-13, and they cannot afford to drop more points against another promoted team. Whereas Bournemouth will be looking not to fight one more relegation battle. They would like to bring their campaign back on track after losing the previous two fixtures against Manchester City and table toppers Arsenal.

It will be a huge task for the Cherries to take points at Anfield which is a fortress to Liverpool under the Jurgen Klopp regime. Liverpool are still looking for their first win of this season. They would like to get the monkey off the back of conceding the first goal of the match which they are conceding for the last seven premier league outings.  

Meanwhile, after winning their first match convincingly against Aston Villa, Bournemouth didn’t find the back of the net against City and Arsenal. But their season won’t be defined by the matches against the ‘big six’. Bournemouth will look to stick to a counterattack strategy against the experienced high-line defence of the Reds which looked a bit rusty this season.

So, we expect Bournemouth to play with a compact defence line providing little to no space to Liverpool forwards. They would try to create pressure in the Liverpool dugout to score quickly as they are feeling the heat at the moment. So, as we wait for the match to begin, let’s look at the history, squad, and predicted playing 11 for the Liverpool vs Bournemouth match of EPL 2022-23. 

History

Bournemouth’s record against Liverpool is ordinary where they managed their only win in the 2016-17 season, which was also the first full season of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

Predicting Playing 11 for both Teams

EPL 2022-23: Liverpool vs Bournemouth Predicted Playing 11 for Liverpool

As we have seen over the years, Jurgen Klopp seldom does changes to his playing 11. He likes to stick to the same 14-15 players. But right now Liverpool is facing a crisis with key players like Matip, Thiago, Jota, Keita, Jones and Konate all nursing an injury.

Whereas new signing Darwin serving 3 match suspension due to a straight red card against Crystal palace. We may expect changes once the Champions League starts to manage workload, but presently there are very limited options available for Liverpool’s manager to select his playing 11.

Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker 

Defence: Andy Robertson, Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander Arnold

Midfield: Jordon Henderson (C) , Fabio Carvalho, Fabinho

Attack: Luiz Diaz, Roiberto Firmino, Mohd. Salah

Formation: 4-3-3

EPL 2022-23: Liverpool vs Bournemouth Predicted Playing 11 for Bournemouth

Goalkeeper Mark Traver will surely start in front of the post whereas Llyod Kelly, Chris Mepham and  Kieffer Moore are also sure starters. Scott Parker might be tempted to start Dominic Solanke after missing the previous two outings due to an ankle injury.

Goalkeeper: Mark Travers

Defence: Chris Mepham, Llyod Kelly (C), Jack Stacey, Adam Smith

Midfield: Lewis Cook, Ben Pearson, Jefferson Lerma, Marcus Tavernier

Attack: Dominic Solanke, Kieffer Moore

Formation: 3-4-2-1

EPL 2022-23: Liverpool vs Bournemouth Fantasy Playing 11

It’s a no-brainer to have the maximum quota of 7 Liverpool players in fantasy 11. As we are expecting Liverpool’s clean sheet, so we will start with both Alisson and Virgil Van Dijk. Robertson and Arnold select themselves as they always possess great attacking threats and are proven fantasy assets. Liverpool’s front three are a force to reckon so Luiz Diaz, Firmino and Salah take the remaining three places from Liverpool.

Lloyd Kelly is in good form, and may provide valuable assists. Whereas Moore’s chances will depend on the counter-strike build by Bournemouth midfield comprising of Cook and Jefferson Lerma. Basically selection of four of Bournemouth’s players is based on the best-positioned players in the starting 11 as we don’t expect much from Cherries in this match.

Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker

Defenders: Trent Alexander Arnold, Andy Robertson, Virgil Van Dijk, Lloyd Kelly

Midfielders: Luis Diaz, Lewis Cook, Jefferson Lerma

Forwards: Mohamed Salah, Firmino, Kieffer Moore

CVC Choice: Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander Arnold
