Bournemouth’s injury crisis continues, with head coach Andoni Iraola confirming on Friday that Marcus Tavernier will be out for “some time” because of the hamstring injury sustained in the 1-1 draw at Brighton on Monday.
New signing Alex Toth could make his debut, while Enes Unal has returned to training.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah will be “ready to play”, according to Arne Slot, although the Reds manager told Friday’s press conference that he is yet to decide whether the 33-year-old will start.
“Mo played 90 minutes and yesterday we had a recovery session, we trained today and knowing Mo he is ready to play tomorrow,” said Slot.
“But he, like all the others, have a training session to go and then I will decide on the line-up.”
Ibrahima Konate, who missed the midweek Champions League win against Marseille, remains unavailable after his father passed away.
Players out: Bournemouth – Kluivert, Brooks, Soler, Adams, Doak, Dennis Liverpool – Bradley, Leoni, Isak, Konate
Doubts: Bournemouth – Unal Liverpool – Chiesa
