Bournemouth face the rather unenviable task of trying to stop a resurgent Liverpool in their tracks at the Vitality Stadium in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off.

Well, having tasted victory over the Reds once in 11 attempts, perhaps Bournemouth’s main aim will be to keep the score down after crashing to a 9-0 defeat in the corresponding fixture back in August.
And when you consider that Bournemouth have only scored once in their past five Premier League clashes with the Merseyside outfit, it doesn’t bode well for the Cherries who are trying to beat the drop.
Jurgen Klopp’s men will be in upbeat mood after a 7-0 drubbing of adversaries Manchester United at Anfield last Sunday.
But will this game follow the traditional script? We have scoured the markets and picked out a couple of tips for you to add to your betting slips.
Liverpool to run away with it
Given what we saw of Liverpool against United last weekend, they can intensify things and turn the screw at a push of a button.
Three goals in seven minutes took the game away from United. The scoreline didn’t flatter the Reds, and they were clinical.
Bournemouth will seem like easy fodder, and let’s not forget that apart from their recent attacking prowess, Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in each of their past five league games, and they have garnered 13 points from a maximum 15 during that spell.
Klopp’s charges are hoping to become just the fifth outfit in Premier League history to score 12 goals against a single club in the same campaign.
Although Bournemouth came flying out of the traps (well nine seconds to be precise) against Arsenal, it will be a different story this weekend.
Liverpool could record a handsome victory, and if you like the sound of the Correct Score section, then Unibet has obliged with a price of 9/1 for the Reds to win 3-0.
Darwin Nunez to enjoy two-goal salvo
Against United, Darwin Nunez led the line superbly and he scored with two splendid headers.
The Uruguayan might have been a bane of frustration for Liverpool fans earlier in the season when he seemed to spurn opportunities when they fell his way.
But Nunez has turned things around, and he has become a fan’s favourite.
Well, 14 goals and counting in all competitions isn’t a bad return for a player in his debut season plying his trade in England, and more will be expected of him next term.
Nevertheless, Nunez could be a real handful for Bournemouth, and he could be hard to stop. I have a hunch he will repeat his exploits against United and pop up with a double, which is available at an enticing 11/2 with Paddy Power.
