As Liverpool prepare to face Bournemouth at Anfield this Saturday, there’s plenty to get excited about.
With a 3 pm BST kick-off, here are some pre-match stats that will give Liverpool fans hope for another dominant display. Let’s dive into the numbers!
Liverpool vs. Bournemouth – History favours the Reds
Liverpool’s record against Bournemouth is something to boast about. Their biggest-ever Premier League victory came against the Cherries just last year when they thrashed them 9-0 at Anfield.
This match remains fresh in the minds of fans, and there’s always hope for more goals when these two teams meet.
Out of 14 league encounters between the sides, Liverpool have scored in 13 of them, netting a whopping 43 goals.
They’ve also kept eight clean sheets, with seven of those coming in the last 10 matches. So, Bournemouth might have a tough time breaking down Liverpool’s defense!
Anfield Fortress Intact?
Anfield has been a fortress for Liverpool, especially with supporters in the ground. The Reds have lost only five of their last 143 home league games with fans in attendance.
It’s even more remarkable when you realize that Liverpool haven’t lost back-to-back home games with supporters present since 2012. Bournemouth will need more than luck to crack this fortress.
Joe Gomez could also reach a significant milestone, potentially playing his 250th game in all competitions for Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah has been on fire against Bournemouth, scoring nine goals in 10 matches. Will Salah strike again?
As for Liverpool’s dominance at Anfield, they’ve failed to score in only five of their last 98 home league games. All signs point to another strong performance from the Reds.
