Welcome along to live coverage of Liverpool’s trip to Bournemouth. The Reds - eight points clear at the top of the table and riding a 32-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League - face a team that is out of form and coming off a defeat which left Eddie Howe feeling "as low as I've felt as Bournemouth manager.” He’ll be without his top scorer today, so could be in for a long afternoon. Full team news is coming up next.

32'

Ake makes an excellent sliding tackle to deny Salah a chance, but he looks to have pulled his hamstring in the process.

29'

A lovely ball from Fraser looks to have put Solanke through on goal, but he makes things harder than they needed to be by trying to outwit Van Dijk and doesn't succeed.

28'

Gomez is finding plenty of space down the right so far.

27'

Ramsdale easily saves a Salah header from a tight angle. This is more like it.

26'

Danjuma makes a smart run across his marker and Fraser's cross finds him, but Danjuma can't hit the target.

25'

A loose ball drops for Milner inside the box and he tries to bend a shot into the far corner, but doesn't get enough curl on his effort.

24'

Billing hurls a long throw-in into the box, where Lovren heads it away.

21'

The Cherries work the corner to Rico, he crosses and Liverpool clear.

20'

Solanke runs into the channel, gets a pass and then cuts inside, winning a corner when his cross is deflected wide by Lovren.

19'

Henderson picks out an unmarked Robertson, who volleys wildly into the crowd. Not sure if that was a shot or a cross.

17'

Lerma wins the ball off Keita inside Liverpool's half, but Wilson squanders the opening when he receives the ball.

16'

Don't think anything from the first 15 minutes will make the highlights package later.

13'

Firmino attempts to slip in Oxlade-Chamberlain, but the pass is deflected and that means Oxlade-Chamberlain can't take it in his stride and dribbles the ball out of play.

11'

Ramsdale claims an overhit Henderson cross.

Gomez passes to Salah, who has found a pocket of space in the corner of the box, and the Egyptian then tries to curl one into the top corner. Ramsdale does well to not only save but take the ball cleanly.

As you would expect, Salah is on the right and Oxlade-Chamberlain on the left. Bournemouth look to be in a 4-4-1-1 formation, with Solanke deeper than WIlson.

With Liverpool having dominated possession early on, Bournemouth look to break when they win it back but Wilson is caught offside.

Liverpool get the game going.

14:59

It's white shirts for Liverpool this afternoon. Alisson - back from suspension - is in green. Ramsdale is wearing yellow, with his outfield team-mates in black and red as usual. Chris Kavanagh is the referee.

14:55

The players are about to make their way no the pitch. The Bournemouth players have jackets with "Afobe" written on the back in support of their former colleague whose 2-year-old daughter sadly passed away last month.
