Liverpool take on Bournemouth at Anfield in the Premier League hoping to close the gap with second-placed Manchester United.

The Reds will be in high spirits after knocking Manchester City out of the Champions League 5-1 on aggregate.

The Merseyside based outfit beat City 3-0 at home following by a 2-1 win at the Etihad on Tuesday.

Jurgen Klopp is facing a bit of an injury crisis heading into the clash as he will be without five players., Joel Matip (thigh), Adam Lallana (thigh), Joe Gomez (ankle), Emre Can (back) and Ragnar Klavan through injury.

The midfielder of Turkish origin is not expected back this season which could end up being a major blow for the Reds.

Can has been a first-team player for Liverpool this season despite his contract situation.

The 24-year-old has scored a career high six goals this campaign but has yet to sign an extension and could therefore end up leaving as a free transfer.

Defence

Klopp is likely to keep Lovren and Van Dijk who appear to be building a pretty decent partnership.

Alexander-Arnold and Moreno meanwhile are likely to feature out wide.

Midfield

Jordan Henderson missed the City clash through suspension so should return to the starting lineup with Can out.

Chamberlain has been in impressive form of late and could keep his spot alongside Milner but Gini Wijnaldum will also be in contention.

Attack

The trusted, deadly trio of Mohamed Salah, Firmino and Sadio Mane are expected to start.

Liverpool Predicted XI: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Moreno, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Milner, Salah, Firmino, Mane
