During the week Arne Slot took charge of this first European match as Liverpool manager and defeated AC Milan at the San Siro in a confidence-building comeback victory. The Reds will now be hoping to take that form into today’s encounter with the Cherries and move themselves up the Premier League table.

A quick-fire double from Luis Diaz set Liverpool on course for a comprehensive 3-0 Premier League home win against Bournemouth on Saturday as the Reds bounced back from last week's embarrassing 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

The Spaniard wants his Cherries to be brave and open to taking risks with or without the ball. Molded in a similar fashion to Jurgen Klopp’s teams, Bournemouth has no fear of pressing any team high up the pitch. In previous seasons, this would be welcome news for Liverpool.
