Liverpool vs Bournemouth preview
Liverpool enter the clash as heavy odds-on favourites at 1/5 to collect maximum points against Bournemouth on Saturday.
The Reds opened their campaign with a decent 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, and were happy enough with a point despite dominating large portions of the game.
Liverpool started that match with attack-minded trio Cody Gakpo, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai across the middle.
And it looks as though it'll be a similarly attacking starting XI this weekend having failed to bring in either Moises Caicedo or Romeo Lavia.
Bournemouth started life under Andoni Iraola with a 1-1 draw against West Ham at the Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries showed positive signs in that contest, boasting 63% possession and five efforts on target with Dominic Solanke eventually salvaging a point.
Liverpool won this fixture 9-0 last season, and though goals are expected -- a complete walkover on Merseyside doesn't appear likely.

Liverpool vs Bournemouth betting tips
Mohamed Salah to score 2+ goals at 5/1 with William Hill - CLAIM HERE
Many were left speechless as Mohamed Salah trudged off after 77 minutes at Stamford Bridge. The Egyptian superstar was visibly annoyed at his withdrawal when throwing his strapping onto the turf.
But an angry Salah could be a devastating Salah on Saturday. The 31-year-old already showed he's in good touch when providing an outrageous assist last weekend in addition to a wonderful finish, which was ruled out for offside.
Salah has scored eight goals in eight appearances against Bournemouth, including a hat-trick back in the 2018-19 season. He's also on penalties and will want to prove a point.
Luis Diaz 3+ shots on target at 17/4 with Ladbrokes - CLAIM HERE
Liverpool winger Luis Diaz certainly isn't lacking in confidence. The 26-year-old fired off four efforts at goal in his 76-minute appearance against Chelsea, converting once.
Only Jarrod Bowen (6) and Eberechi Eze (8) had more on the opening day of the Premier League season, with Bowen managing a shot every 15 minutes against Bournemouth.
Diaz is clearly making up for lost time having spent much of last season sidelined with a knee injury, and showed he's more than capable of delivering devastating performances having struck twice in this fixture last season.
Dominik Szoboszlai to be booked at 9/2 with Paddy Power - CLAIM HERE
Nobody was overly sure how Dominik Szoboszlai escaped a booking against Chelsea last weekend. The exciting 22-year-old midfielder committed three fouls during the clash, which was more than any other player on the pitch.
He wasn't afraid to stick his boot in without a traditional holding midfielder playing, and was more than happy to give away 'tactical' or 'cheap' fouls to prevent Chelsea on the counter.
