On the back of their first win of the Premier League season, Bournemouth will take on Liverpool in an EFL Cup fourth-round encounter on Wednesday.
The Cherries came from behind to beat Burnley 2-1 on Saturday thanks to goals from Antoine Semenyo and Philip Billing after Charlie Taylor had put the Clarets ahead as early as the 11th minute.
Bournemouth beat Swansea City and Stoke City earlier in the EFL Cup to make it to the fourth round of the tournament for a second successive season. It's as far as they made it last time out with eventual runners-up Newcastle United eliminating them at this stage.
