Liverpool XI vs Bournemouth: Confirmed team news, predicted ...
Liverpool remain without a number of important players for today's trip to face Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Three points on the south coast would see Jurgen Klopp’s side extend their lead over Manchester City at the summit to five points, albeit they will have played a game more than the reigning champions.
Andy Robertson, Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic, Kostas Tsimikas and Joel Matip are all long-term absentees.
Dominik Szoboszlai will also miss the game at Bournemouth but there is hope that he could return in the Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg tie against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday, alongside both Alexander-Arnold and Robertson.
"I hope that nobody else will be out," Klopp said on Friday.
"After Bournemouth and maybe for Fulham, see how they do. Trent is close, Robertson close and Dom close. So all going in the right direction but for the weekend's game, no."
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez, Mac Allister, Elliott, Jones, Nunez, Jota, Diaz
Unavailable: Salah (AFCON), Endo (Asian Cup)
Injured: Alexander-Arnold, Thiago, Robertson, Tsimikas, Matip, Szoboszlai, Bajcetic
Time and date: 4:30pm GMT on Sunday, January 21
