We're underway at the Vitality Stadium.
Welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League clash between Bournemouth and Liverpool at the Vitality Stadium.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Liverpool's momentum has been stymied in their last two matches, failing to defeat Everton and West Brom on home soil. Jurgen Klopp's men were frustrated by Wayne Rooney's late penalty in the Merseyside derby, while they were unable to find a way through the Baggies during the week. Their fortunes have to change this afternoon to keep them on pace in the battle for a top four place.
Liverpool subs: Karius, Milner, Mane, Lallana, Ings, Solanke, Alexander-Arnold.
Bournemouth are on a five-match winless run in the Premier League and are only one point outside of the relegation zone. Eddie Howe's men played out a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace with two Jermain Defoe strikes earning the Cherries a point, while they were only beaten 1-0 by Manchester United during the week. However, their winless run will be a concern to Howe.
Howe has made five changes to his team that was beaten 1-0 by Manchester United during the week. Jermain Defoe, Jordon Ibe, Lewis Cook, Andrew Surman and Marc Pugh all return to the fold, with Defoe leading the line supported by Josh King, who retains his place in the team ahead of Callum Wilson.
STAT ATTACK! Bournemouth have beaten Liverpool just once in all competitions (P11 W1 D3 L7), a 4-3 victory in this exact fixture last season.
Liverpool have made three changes to their side from their draw against West Brom during the week. Joe Gomez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jordan Henderson come into the fold, with Philippe Coutinho moving forward to be part of the front three alongside Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah. Adam Lallana returns to the bench after his lengthy injury lay-off.
STAT ATTACK! Liverpool lost a two-goal lead to lose in this exact fixture last season, one of only four instances of this happening in the Premier League era (3-4 v Leeds in 2000, 2-3 v QPR in 2012 and 2-3 v Southampton in 2016).
HALF-TIME: BOURNEMOUTH 0-3 LIVERPOOL
Liverpool are in complete control of the contest at the break, holding a 3-0 lead over Bournemouth. Philippe Coutinho opened the scoring with a fine individual goal, dribbling his way through the Cherries' defence before firing home. Dejan Lovren capitalised on poor defending to score the visitors' second, heading home from close range. Mohamed Salah notched his 20th goal of the term with what has become his trademark by cutting in from the right flank before burying his left-footed strike.
FULL-TIME: BOURNEMOUTH 0-4 LIVERPOOL
Thanks for joining our commentary this afternoon. Until next time, goodbye.
Liverpool move back to fourth in the Premier League after putting on a clinic this afternoon to defeat Bournemouth. Philippe Coutinho opened the scoring with a fine weaving run and finish before Dejan Lovren and Mohamed Salah killed off the contest before the break. Roberto Firmino made it four in the second half with a headed finish and it could have been more had the Reds wanted to add to the scoresheet. The Cherries were simply outplayed by a better side, but their winless run in the top flight extends to six matches.
