Mo Salah will lead Liverpool to Bournemouth goal
While Manchester City and Chelsea inevitably tired after cutting short their summer vacations to attend the Club World Cup, Liverpool want to take advantage of the opportunity to break away from the start and the match against Bournemouth is the best opportunity.
Liverpool continue to play without Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, but new signings Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong are expected to bring new life to the team.
Ryan Gravenberch will miss the season opener through suspension, but hosts Liverpool have no further injury concerns.
Despite suffering a surprise defeat to Crystal Palace in the opening match of the Community Shield, coach Arne Slot's team is still rated as superior in the opening match of the campaign at home at Anfield.
Meanwhile, the Cherries are on a four-game winless streak in pre-season, and with their poor record at Anfield, a home win is a given. It’s worth noting that Liverpool have beaten Bournemouth in all six of their last meetings at this ground.
Justin Kluivert's availability for the visitors remains an open question and the Dutch striker will be assessed before kick-off.
Prediction: Liverpool win 3-1
English Premier League | Asian Handicap | Over/Under | |||||

August 16, 3:00 AM | Liverpool - Bournemouth | 1.85 | 0 : 1 1/2 | 2.00 | 1,875 | 3 1/4 | 2.00 |

Head-to-head history shows a huge gap in games at Anfield, with Bournemouth's four visits resulting in Liverpool winning 17-2 on aggregate.
So no one was surprised when the initial odds for the match were Liverpool to concede 1.5 goals, win 85, lose all. The market was still bearish, so by noon today the odds had changed to 1.5 goals and 2 goals, win all, lose 85. Anyway, choosing the home team was still safer because Liverpool had the motivation to break out from the beginning of the season.
