Henderson and Robertson fitness latest

Jürgen Klopp issued a positive fitness update regarding Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson during his post-match press conference, with the former set to return to full training tomorrow.

Both, therefore, could be in contention for the midweek Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid at Anfield.

Klopp said: “What I hear, it should be possible [for them to be available for Atletico]. If we then do it, I don’t know.

“Robbo should not be a problem; he only missed today pretty much.

“He finished the session yesterday and afterwards felt something, but it was then nothing in the end.

“Hendo was out, I don’t know exactly in this moment, but I think he will train tomorrow. If that looks good, I have to make a decision.

“For sure [it will be good to have him back] and some others as well.”

Salah and Milner reaction: 'We showed our mentality to win'

Mohamed Salah and James Milner cited Liverpool’s mentality as a key factor behind today's battling win.

“Yeah that’s something good, honestly,” Salah told BT Sport, when asked about his stunning scoring record against the Cherries (eight goals in six games).

“I always love to score and help the team to get the points and today we showed our personality after [going] 1-0 down, so we had to react to that and I think we did well and we got the result.

“We need to keep going for the next three games and the rest of the season.”

Milner, meanwhile, stated: “It never is [straightforward] - I don’t think any Premier League game is easy to win. It’s a boring thing to say but it’s true, especially when we’ve had a couple of performances that weren’t at our level,” the captain stated.

“Again today we weren’t at our best, but many teams would have crumbled after a couple of poor results, plenty of things going on outside the ground with people saying this and that and many teams might have crumbled at one down but we didn’t. 

“We stayed calm and when you’ve got the boys up front, how clinical they are, you’ve always got a chance.”

The story of the afternoon, as told by Opta stats...

Chance

Firmino blazes over the bar from 10 yards out after Lallana left Salah's cross for him.

Billing has a knock and Bournemouth are down to 10 men for the moment having used all of their substitutes.

Milner delivers into the six-yard box and Ake clears it over his own bar.

Salah slides one towards the bottom corner. Ramsdale flicks it behind.

Off the post!

Mane lets fly with an incredible curling effort from 25 yards that cannons against the woodwork.

Chance

What a clearance by James Milner to ensure Liverpool remain in the lead.

Fraser escapes behind the Liverpool defence and lobs the bouncing ball over Adrian's head; however, the captain gets back to spectacularly clear off the line.

Fraser has a shot blocked by Milner's legs on the edge of the area.

Four minutes to be added on...

Stanislas burns down the left before cutting inside onto the edge of the area and shooting.

Adrian punches it behind.

Chance

Salah slings a cross-field ball towards the back post, where Milner is unmarked.

He side-foots goalwards, but he can't get enough purchase on it to beat Ramsdale.

Chance!

Firmino darts into space to meet Alexander-Arnold's pass.

He sweeps towards goal first time, but Ramsdale makes a block.

It's so close to being 2-0 to Bournemouth as Ake bullets a header goalwards from a corner.

Adrian reacts well to push it onto the crossbar and over.

Liverpool open up Bournemouth for the first time as Alexander-Arnold collects Oxlade-Chamberlain's pass and crosses into the middle.

Cook heads it over his own crossbar, but the flag is raised anyway.

The teams are out and You'll Never Walk Alone is being bellowed with gusto.

Here's how Opta expect the two teams to shape up...

Morning, lads...

Andy Robertson update

Andy Robertson was left out of the squad for today's game as a precaution and will be fit for the Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid, explained Jürgen Klopp.

Asked whether Robertson is not involved this afternoon because of rotation or a fitness issue, Klopp told BT Sport: "Something in between.

"He would have started today but then he felt [something] slightly. But it's all good, it will be fine for Wednesday. But not for today.

"So we didn't want to have him on the bench and see Robbo and think, 'Maybe we can bring you [on].' It wouldn't make sense today. That's the reason and he will be fine."

TEAM NEWS

James Milner returns to the starting line-up for Liverpool and the teamsheet also confirms Adrian's place in goal, replacing the injured Alisson Becker.

Naby Keita is among the substitutes after recovering from a knock.

Liverpool: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Milner, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Lonergan, Keita, Minamino, Lallana, Origi, Matip, Williams.

Missing Men

There was a first Liverpool goal for Christian Benteke when Bournemouth made their first Premier League visit to Anfield in August 2015, but can you remember the full starting XI from that night?

'An interesting match-up'

"Bournemouth's strength will be through the counter-attacking prowess of Joshua King and Ryan Fraser," explained Sam Davis in our view from the opposition feature.

"I can see us playing five in midfield for this one so it would be hoped that we can try to combat the quality that Liverpool have in the middle of the park. 

"If we can get the ball out wide very early, then Fraser and King have a good chance to cause some damage down each of the flanks - but they will need to put in the hard yards, as Liverpool's strength is also through their wide defenders, so it will be an interesting match-up."

Good morning...

Team news

The big news ahead of today's fixture is that Alisson Becker is not available for this game, or next week's Champions League tie with Atletico Madrid, due to a muscle injury.

Adrian is therefore set to continue in goal for the Reds after starting at Chelsea in midweek.

Naby Keita has been in training in the build-up, though Jordan Henderson and Xherdan Shaqiri remain sidelined.

Bournemouth could call on Lloyd Kelly but Harry Wilson is ineligible to play against his parent club.
