What’s Next for Liverpool and Bournemouth?

The clash with the Cherries is the simplest of Liverpool’s three competitive August fixtures, with the Reds next facing Newcastle United at St James’ Park on August 25. There may be some bad blood in the air given the ongoing Alexander Isak saga.

Liverpool then face Arsenal at Anfield on August 31 in a meeting which could already have an impact on this season’s Premier League title race.

For Bournemouth, things get easier during the rest of August. Their Carabao Cup second round meeting with Brentford is sandwiched in between Premier League duels with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur.
