AFC Bournemouth, who lie 12th, are attempting to end a four-match losing streak that has left them three points above the bottom three. 

Liverpool have won their last six matches and have secured 4-0 victories on their last two visits to Vitality Stadium. 

Team news

Adam Smith (ankle) has joined Steve Cook (wrist) and Joshua King (hamstring) on the AFC Bournemouth injury list. 

Top scorer Harry Wilson is ineligible to face his parent club and so will also miss out along with long-term absentees Junior Stanislas, Andrew Surman, Charlie Daniels and David Brooks.

The leaders have no new injury concerns and welcome back goalkeeper Alisson from suspension.

AFC Bournemouth's 4-3 win against Liverpool in December 2016 was the last time Sadio Mane scored and ended on the losing side.

The Cherries have lost their last four Premier League matches by a single goal.

Liverpool have won their last four Premier League meetings with AFC Bournemouth by at least three goals. They have never won five consecutive top-flight matches against an opponent by such a margin. 

Mohamed Salah has scored in all four of his Premier League encounters with AFC Bournemouth, the only side he has a 100 per cent record against in the competition.
