A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Liverpool fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and AFC Bournemouth's 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Liverpool have less rest than AFC Bournemouth in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a FA Cup game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Chelsea, so at least Liverpool are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
