Jurgen Klopp’s selection choices remain the same due to injuries, and the manager has made a change to the XI that tasted defeat last time out.
The Reds return to Anfield after a disappointing, to say the least, defeat at the hands of Man United, which only adds to the importance of Bournemouth’s visit today.
Liverpool’s situation is far from ideal at the start of the campaign and a win is not negotiable today, and Alisson will be eager to do so with a clean sheet.
The four-man backline of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson is unchanged.
And in midfield Fabinho returns, replacing James Milner, and takes his place alongside Jordan Henderson and Harvey Elliott.
Mohamed Salah, Luis Díaz and Roberto Firmino return to form the attack in the continued absence of Darwin Núñez and Diogo Jota.
Klopp has the likes of Fabio Carvalho, James Milner and Kostas Tsimikas to come off the bench, which is again light on senior options.
A familiar face has been named in Bournemouth’s matchday squad, with Dominic Solanke fit enough to start from the bench this afternoon.
