Just one of the nine previous meetings between this pair has resulted in a draw, but there are odds of 3/1 (4.00) available on them cancelling each other out on this occasion.

Team News

Dan Gosling will face a late fitness test after receiving a scan on the knee injury he picked up in the warm-up against Manchester City last weekend, while Adam Smith is out until the new year.

Sadio Mane and Andy Robertson will face late fitness tests after missing the Burnley game due to minor injuries, while Joe Gomez is unlikely to feature after coming off injured at Turf Moor.

Goalmouth action

Despite their excellent defensive form this season, Jurgen Klopp’s side has actually kept just two clean sheets in the last eight matches on the road.

This record is bound to be tested against a forward line that has failed to score in just one of the previous 11 fixtures, although the fact the Cherries have conceded in six consecutive fixtures suggests goalmouth action is unlikely to be in short supply.

Predictions

Indeed, odds of 20/21 (1.95) look like excellent value on both teams getting on target in a match featuring over 2.5 goals for Bournemouth’s seventh game in a row, as well as Liverpool’s third in succession on the road.
