The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Bournemouth lock horns with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side in an important clash at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.
Bournemouth vs Liverpool Preview
Bournemouth are currently in 12th place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Cherries edged QPR to a narrow 3-2 victory in the FA Cup this week and will look to pull off a similar result this weekend.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form so far this season. The Merseyside outfit defeated Fulham by a 2-1 scoreline in the EFL Cup this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool have been exceptional under Jurgen Klopp this season and will need to put up a fight to keep their place at the top of the league table. The likes of Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz have stepped up in recent weeks and will look to make their mark this weekend.
