Liverpool v Bournemouth: Is the game on TV? Kick-off time, head-to-head stats and team news

Liverpool play host to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon eager to ensure a return to winning ways after being upstaged by Nottingham Forest last time out on home soil.

Bournemouth meanwhile, enjoyed their last trip to Merseyside, overturning a 2-0 deficit against Everton in hugely dramatic fashion to seal all three points a few weeks ago, although they were beaten 1-0 by Chelsea last weekend.

Liverpool v Bournemouth stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Liverpool will be hoping to make history count as they bid to extend their superb home record against the Cherries this weekend.

The Reds have won nine and drawn one of their last 10 Anfield meetings, including a 3-1 success last term on the back of an emphatic 9-0 success in August 2022.

Bournemouth did however secure three points on home soil last season, avenging their defeat on Merseyside, but successes in this fixture have been few and far between, with the South Coast side boasting just two wins in all competitions in history.

Liverpool frontman Mohamed Salah will also be keen to extend his impressive scoring record against Bournemouth, with the Egyptian star having notched nine tines in his last 10 fixtures against them.
