So here we go. At the fourth time of asking we are hoping to see a Liverpool win under Jurgen Klopp.
The good news is of course that The Reds are unbeaten under the German but they haven’t done enough to record a resounding win yet.
And although Bournemouth are on the ropes right now, after some poor results, Liverpool fans may have to wait even longer for the first victory.
Because, with such a big game at the weekend to come against Chelsea, and several injury concerns to deal with already, Liverpool may be forgiven for resting a few players tonight.
Still, this Liverpool squad should have more than enough to finish off a Bournemouth side over the 90.
Having been hammered 5-1 at home by Tottenham at the weekend, Bournemouth sit perilously above the drop zone on 8 points and will already be channeling most of their energies towards staying in the division.
So perhaps we can expect something of a tepid affair as The Premier League may take precedence for both clubs.
