Bournemouth and Liverpool will meet at Vitality Stadium this Saturday for the 27th Round of the 2022/23 Premier League season.
Both sides are fighting at the other end of the spectrum, with the hosts sitting rock bottom of the Premier League after a narrow 3-2 loss to Arsenal last weekend.
Despite leading the Premier League leaders 2-0 up till the 60th minute, Gary O’Neil’s succumbed to late pressure from Mikel Arteta’s men, with that the third time this season they’ve taken such a lead only to suffer defeat.

The hosts have been conceding late goals recently, with the Cherries of the PL’s worst defence conceding a league-high eight goals after the 80th minute. However, the Vitality Stadium faithful will feel they can play a part in ensuring that tally isn’t added to against a rampant Liverpool side, which they have lost to in the last seven games.
The Reds are still on cloud nine after a 7-0 win over their fierce rivals Manchester United last time. The win made it five games without defeat for Jurgen Klopp’s men in the league. It was also their fifth clean sheet in a row, and it took them to fifth position on the table, three points behind Tottenham, who have played a game more.
Liverpool beat Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield in the reverse fixture, their seventh successive victory over their hosts, scoring a mammoth 28 goals and conceding only once in that time. Such a dominant record should make the Reds confident of winning this game and (at least momentarily) leapfrog Tottenham Hotspur into fourth place.
That said, we can expect over 2.5 goals scored in this game.
