📊EOTK Stats Pack: Bournemouth v Liverpool - Form guide, how Dominic Solanke compares to Reds' forwards and MORE

We analyse some of the key stats and info ahead as Liverpool return from their mid-season break with a visit to the Vitality Stadium!

Following a hectic December, and amid a top-heavy injury list, Liverpool may well have been very grateful for the 11-day break they’ve enjoyed since their Carabao Cup first leg win over Fulham.

Jurgen Klopp’s now face into another busy period of five matches in 15 days (and potentially seven in 21 should they face an FA Cup fourth round replay), beginning with their first Premier League game since beating Newcastle on New Year’s Day.

The Reds make the journey to the south coast to take on Bournemouth, who ended 2023 in magnificent form to glide serenely into the environs of mid-table.

Liverpool could only watch on as Manchester City secured a dramatic late win at St James’ Park last weekend, but on Sunday the Merseysiders have the chance to restore a five-point buffer over the reigning champions, albeit with the latter then having a game in hand.

Recent history suggests that the contenders to the Cityzens’ throne have minimal margin for error once January rolls around, so Klopp will know full well that anything other than a win at the Vitality Stadium could be a very damaging result.

Ahead of the trip to Bournemouth, let’s take a look at the form guide for both teams, as well as their head-to-head Premier League record, and look in depth at how in-form Cherries striker Dominic Solanke compares to the Reds’ senior forwards this season.
