Meetings between these two teams usually end level, but this time Liverpool and AFC Bournemouth are both on unbeaten runs of late, and Bournemouth just beat Liverpool 3-2 at home earlier this year. Bournemouth are still unbeaten in the league, but have drawn as many as three of four matches. Their defence concedes in every game, which is a worry, especially late on when they clearly concede more than at other times. Liverpool are also unbeaten, but have likewise drawn as many as three of four league matches. Their attack is not as sharp as it should be, yet they have still won by a margin of one goal or more in as many as three of their last five. If Liverpool score first, Bournemouth have to open up and trade blows, which will only give Liverpool more room to counter and close the game out before 90 minutes are up. But if Bournemouth take the lead first, Liverpool have to push the tempo, and the game could turn into a back-and-forth with goals at both ends.
