Liverpool XI vs Bournemouth: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Premier League

Alisson remained a unused substitute at Anfield, but should reclaim his place in goal from Giorgi Mamardashvili - who had a mixed performance against Spurs - as Andoni Iraola restores the big-hitters for his first return to the Vitality Stadium.

Wirtz, meanwhile, has come in for some criticism after a slow start to the season, but should get the nod in the No10 role despite Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning midfield trio seeing out the victory over Spurs.

Up front, Alexander Isak came on for Lewis Koumas late on against Tottenham, but should lead the line once again as he bids to avoid going four games without a goal.

Cody Gakpo missed the goalless draw with Fulham through injury but returned to action with a goal and an assist in the win over Spurs, making him somewhat undroppable for Liverpool right now.

The Dutchman has a goal contribution in all three of his Premier League appearances so far this season, but may switch over to the right to accommodate big-money summer signing Bradley Barcola on the opposite flank.

Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni, Federico Chiesa and Conor Bradley are all sidelined through injury, though a couple are expected to be available after the international break.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Gakpo, Wirtz, Barcola; Isak.
