Liverpool can not afford one other poor outcome at Anfield this weekend, however Bournemouth are greater than able to springing a shock.

The Reds received at AC Milan within the Champions League in midweek, however that loss at house to Nottingham Forest continues to be recent within the thoughts.

On Saturday, Arne Slot‘s males return to Premier League motion with the go to of Bournemouth, which should finish in three factors for the hosts.

The Cherries sit eleventh within the desk after 4 matches, solely dropping as soon as, in order that they received’t be a straightforward proposition.

With kickoff edging nearer, we spoke to Tom Jordan from Again Of The Web (@afcbpodcast) to debate the season so far, Saturday’s recreation and extra.

 

How would you assess Bournemouth’s season up to now?

It has been a formidable begin performance-wise, however we positively really feel as if we should always have a number of extra factors on the board.

Mockingly, our worst efficiency noticed our solely win come at Everton.

We felt extremely onerous executed by towards Newcastle, the place an ‘error’ dominated out our late aim, although.

*Pretends to be shocked!*

 

Has the intention for the season modified for the reason that summer season?

I don’t suppose so, no.

Regardless of dropping our most important man in Dom Solanke, I really feel we’re nonetheless assured in progressing on final season’s Twelfth-place end.

 

Have there been any standout performers?

Antoine Semenyo has had a robust begin to the marketing campaign.

He is a continuing risk and is now including targets and assists to his general performances in addition.

Our new report signing, Evanilson, has but to attain and, sadly, missed a golden alternative from the spot final week.

So we hope he can web his first aim sooner slightly than later.

 

What are your ideas on Liverpool’s begin?

From the skin trying in, it has been a formidable begin, in my view.

It was all the time going to take a while to adapt to the departure of Jurgen Klopp, however the indicators are encouraging early on.

 

What are your early impressions of Arne Slot?

Arne Slot is already implementing his type on the staff and positively appears to be like like a high coach.

He’s understated, which is probably a giant change from Jurgen, however I feel you’re in secure fingers with him.

 

Waiting for Saturday, how is Anfield as a matchday expertise?

For a supporter of a ‘smaller membership’ it has its execs and cons.

The historical past of Anfield and every thing surrounding it’s clearly grand.

That being mentioned, you understandably don’t get to expertise as a lot of that nice environment whenever you lads are taking part in little outdated Bournemouth!

 

The place will the important thing battles happen this weekend?

We now have quite a lot of tempo and risk in large areas, so we shall be hoping to doubtlessly catch your full-backs out in transitions.

We play with a excessive and aggressive press, which means if that goes to plan we may create some massive moments.

On the flip aspect, in the event you beat that press, then we may very well be in for a tricky day.

 

Lastly, what’s your prediction?

My head says you’ll be far too sturdy, so I’ll go for Liverpool 3-1 Bournemouth, however my coronary heart says we will shock and nick a draw.

At all times observe your coronary heart, so 1-1.
