Are the wheels starting to fall off the Liverpool bandwagon?
The Reds have relinquished their spot at the top of the table, following consecutive draws to Leicester and West Ham.
Injuries have played a big role in run of poor results, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Dejan Lovren and Gini Wijnaldum all sidelined.
Alexander-Arnold has missed the last three games but is expected to be fit to face Bournemouth, which will be a boost as he is the only recognised right-back in the squad.
Goalkeeper Alisson has been one of the reasons Liverpool are title contenders, but his form has also be on the slide in 2019.
The shot-stopper has conceded seven goals from 11 shots he has faced in 2019, which is more than any other keeper in the top six.
Bournemouth enter the game off the back of a shock 2-0 defeat to Cardiff. The Cherries failed to recapture the form that saw them beat Chelsea 4-0 earlier in the week.
The Callum Wilson and Josh King partnership up front has heralded 18 goals in the campaign and could cause Liverpool trouble.
Liverpool has won 10 of the 14 encounters between these sides but will face stiff opposition this time around.
