Liverpool will be looking for their second win in the Barclays Premier League 2015-16 when they play host to Bournemouth at Anfield on Monday.
The Reds, who finished at the sixth position last season, began this campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Stoke City at Britannia Stadium last weekend thanks to a late goal from Philippe Coutinho.
It was a little revenge by Brendan Rodgers’ men from the Potters, who handed them a 6-1 thrashing in the final game of last term.
New-promoted Bournemouth, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa at Dean Court in their first ever match in the topflight.
The Cherries, who won the Championship title last season, missed several close scoring chances against the Villains before a late goal from Rudy Gestede saw them slump to a narrow loss.
