Bournemouth are on a run of just one win in their last 13 top-flight games (six draws, six defeats), beating Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 earlier this month.

However, they have only lost two of their last 12 home Premier League fixtures, including six victories and four draws.

No side in the division has scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes of games this season than the Cherries (seven).

After scoring versus Marseille in midweek, Cody Gakpo needs two more goals to reach 50 for Liverpool in all competitions.

The Reds are now unbeaten in their last 13 games in all competitions (seven wins, six draws). It is currently the longest undefeated run of any team in Europe’s top five leagues.
