Liverpool play Bournemouth in an early midday kickoff, with Jurgen Klopp making one alteration from the 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United
The Reds were given a brief reprieve earlier in the week to reflect on their historic victory, but they are now expected to follow it up with another three points.
Liverpool enter at Dean Court on a five-game unbeaten streak and five clean sheets, and Klopp has fielded a quality lineup once again.
Alisson can extend his late-season run for the Golden Glove as he makes his 35th appearance of the season, playing behind an unchanged defense.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, and birthday boy Andy Robertson all retain their positions.
Fabinho returns to the starting lineup in midfield, supported by Harvey Elliott and the newly arrived Stefan Bajcetic.
Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo can attempt to expand on their on-field connection.
Meanwhile, Arthur joins the squad for the first time since October on the substitutes’ bench.
Caoimhin Kelleher, Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and the injured foursome of Luis Diaz, Thiago, Joe Gomez, and Calvin Ramsay are all missing.
Liverpool’s starting lineup is as follows: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Elliott, Bajcetic; Salah, Nunez, Gakpo.
Adrian, Matip, Tsimikas, Milner, Henderson, Arthur, Carvalho, Jota, and Firmino are the substitutes.
Neto, Zemura, Stephens, Kelly, Senesi, Billing, Rothwell, Smith, Ouattara, Anthony, Solanke
Travers, Mepham, Fredericks, Vina, Cook, Christie, Brooks, Moore, and Semenyo are the replacements.
