Returning to the Premier League, a team is eager to exploit their recently discovered weaponry for competitive advantage.
Liverpool Prepare for Tough Test Against Struggling Bournemouth
Liverpool, currently on a nine-game winning streak against Bournemouth in the Premier League, are set to face the Cherries at Anfield this weekend. The Reds have not lost a home game against Bournemouth in the Premier League since 2010, a run that spans 58 games.
Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's prolific striker, has scored nine goals in nine Premier League appearances against Bournemouth. If he manages to score against the Cherries again, it will mark the fourth team he has reached double figures against in the Premier League.
Arne Slot, Liverpool's manager, is confident that the team's new set-piece strategy can help them secure a win against Bournemouth and improve their Premier League campaign. However, it's worth noting that Liverpool did not have a notable emphasis on set-pieces in their recent Champions League game.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, have struggled on Merseyside, losing nine of their 10 away games against Liverpool in all competitions. Their last Premier League game ended in a defeat against Chelsea, and their £40million record signing Evanilson, who missed a penalty in their last game, has yet to score in his first three league games for the club.
Despite these challenges, Bournemouth have shown signs of their attacking improvement this season. They have taken more shots than Brighton and Manchester City in the Premier League, suggesting that they could pose a threat to Liverpool's defense, which has conceded only one goal so far this season, facing the fewest shots of any side.
Antoine Semenyo, Bournemouth's forward, has started the season well, recording three goal involvements in his first four Premier League games. Interestingly, Semenyo has scored at Anfield before, netting in the third minute of Bournemouth's 3-1 defeat against Liverpool last season.
The Opta win probability for the match is 69.7% for Liverpool, 16.9% for a draw, and 13.4% for Bournemouth. As the game approaches, fans and pundits alike will be eager to see if Liverpool can maintain their impressive run against Bournemouth and continue their strong start to the season.
In the context of their upcoming game against Bournemouth, Liverpool's dominant streak in the Premier League, specifically against Bournemouth, is noteworthy, with their last home loss against the Cherries dating back to 2010. Moreover, if Mohamed Salah scores again against Bournemouth, it would mark the fourth Premier League team he has reached double figures against.
