Liverpool will face Bournemouth in the first home game of the season and will look to earn their first victory.

The Reds trounced the Cherries 9-0 in this match last season, but they will need to significantly improve this time around.

Since Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic are still out due to team news, it will not be shocking to see new addition Endo start in the No. 6 position.

The Japanese international joined us yesterday and he is fit but there are doubts because his work permit application needs clearance.

Nevertheless, if Endo is available, he must start as Klopp needs a natural play breaker and not a creative CM like Mac Allister in the DM role. In front of the main holding midfielder, Szoboszlai and Mac Allister should be deployed in the center of the park.

In the attacking third, Salah, who has netted 8 goals in as many games versus Bournemouth, must start on the right flank.

Luis Diaz, who scored on the opening day of the season against Chelsea, would likely feature on the left wing.

Jota had an average outing last weekend and in his place, Cody Gakpo should return to start as the main center forward up front when his ability to connect with Salah and Diaz is better than Darwin Nunez

The backline would probably remain unchanged and Alisson must start in the goal for the Reds.

Liverpool’s strongest possible 4-3-3 XI vs Bournemouth: Alisson – Trent, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson – Endo, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai – Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
