Liverpool Preview – Can the Reds pick up first league win?
Last season, Liverpool won two domestic trophies, were runners-up in the UEFA Champions League, and missed out on the Premier League title by just one point. However, the Merseysiders have made woeful start to this campaign, taking just two points from a possible nine.
Jurgen Klopp’s boys started the 2022-23 league season with back-to-back draws with Fulham and Crystal Palace. They then lost the derby to Manchester United last Monday, with Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford netting for the Red Devils. Liverpool never turned up at Old Trafford and deserved the 2-1 reverse.
Liverpool must dust themselves and pick up all three points from this one. There are no easy games in the Premier League, but the Reds are the overwhelming favourites to see off last season’s EFL Championship runners-up.
Bournemouth Preview – Third defeat on the trot for Cherries?
Bournemouth have had a tough start to their Premier League season in terms of the opposition they have faced. The Cherries have already played Aston Villa, Manchester City and Arsenal in their opening three fixtures.
In game one, Scott Parker’s side edged past Steven Gerrard’s Villa at the Vitality Stadium. Jefferson Lerma opened the scoring after just two minutes, and Kieffer Moore doubled their advantage with ten minutes remaining. However, the Cherries then lost 4-0 to Man City and 3-0 to Arsenal.
