Predicted starting XI for Bournemouth versus Liverpool in the English Premier League 2025-26 season.
On 24 Jan 2026 GMT+7, the predicted starting lineups for the English Premier League 2025-26 match between "The Cherries" Bournemouth, hosting "The Reds" Liverpool, managed by Arne Slot, are announced. The match is scheduled for Saturday, 24 January 2026 at 00:30 (early Sunday morning) and will be broadcast live on MONOMAX.
Bournemouth, coached by Andoni Iraola, recently ended an 11-game league winless streak with a narrow 3-2 victory over Tottenham but could not maintain momentum, drawing 1-1 away at Brighton.
Eli Junior Crupi has emerged as Bournemouth's key striker following Antoine Semenyo's transfer to Manchester City; he scored in the last two home games and aims to continue his strong form against Liverpool.
Liverpool currently lead by only one point over fifth-placed Manchester United; failure to win this match could see them drop in the standings.
After a 3-0 away win against Marseille in the Champions League, Liverpool has extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches across Europe’s top five leagues. Dominik Szoboszlai impressed with a beautiful free-kick goal against Marseille and earned the man of the match award.
Head-to-head in the Premier League at Bournemouth’s home ground: 8 matches.
