Liverpool XI vs Bournemouth: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

Andoni Iraola makes a big decision on his return to the Vitality Stadium

The likes of Virgil van Dijk and Florian Wirtz were left out of the starting lineup for the Carabao Cup win over Tottenham in midweek.

Goalkeeper Alisson remained an unused substitute at Anfield, but reclaims his place in goal from Giorgi Mamardashvili - who had a mixed performance against Spurs - as Andoni Iraola confirmed no fresh injury concerns for his first return to the Vitality Stadium.

"Everyone is ready to go,” the Spaniard said in the pre-Bournemouth press conference. “We are in the same place we were, three long-term injuries plus Federico [Chiesa]. The others, no, nothing. We still need to train tomorrow and travel, but everyone is fine."

Wirtz, meanwhile, has come in for some criticism after a slow start to the season, but gets the nod in the No10 role despite Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning midfield trio seeing out the victory over Spurs.

Both Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai scored in the cup tie, meaning Iraola did have the option of pushing the Hungary international higher up to restore the Ryan Gravenberch and Mac Allister double pivot.

Up front, Alexander Isak came on for Lewis Koumas late on against Tottenham, but leads the line once again as he bids to avoid going four games without a goal.

Cody Gakpo weighed in with a goal and an assist in the win over Spurs, making him somewhat undroppable for Liverpool right now.

The Dutchman has a goal contribution in all but one of his Premier League appearances so far this season, but switches over to the right to accommodate big-money summer signing Bradley Barcola on the opposite flank.

Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni, Federico Chiesa and Conor Bradley are all sidelined through injury, though a couple are expected to be available after the international break.
