Liverpool’s aim to win the treble was brought to amend three days later when they got beaten 2-0 in the FA Cup match against Chelsea. Despite all these limitations they are favoured to win the match not minding the impressive showings of AFC Bournemouth against Chelsea drawing (2-2) at the weekend. Here LiverpoolCore.com, takes a look at how Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool could line-up against AFC Bournemouth side (Eddie Howe’s team) at Anfield.

Some weeks back Jurgen Klopp may be seeing a home game against Bournemouth as a chance to rest his first team players ahead of the Wednesday’s must win Champions League second leg match with Athletico Madrid. But this could not be so as they would under pressure to deliver this annihilating such an idea. The aim to return to winning
ways and raising the bar is the most important thing on Liverpool’s stance now. This could see the Reds likely line-up with a full (strength) squad at the weekend.
Klopp may have named a stronger side in the previous match of the FA Cup as compared to that featured in
Chelsea’s defeat. Sadio Mane, Fabinho, Joe Gomez, Andrew Robertson, Virgil Van Dijk started against Chelsea but Klopp’s expected to restore the full complement of his squad when they play host to AFC Bournemouth.
Robert Firmino, Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker, Dutch midfield star Georginio Wijnaldum should all make a return, and the latter will be out to continue his impressive goal scoring record again at the opponent Eddie Howe’s side.
The Egyptian Salah has found the net scoring in all five of his past games with the visitors. He’s got seven goals and has one assist to his name. Inspirational figure Jordan Henderson remains out of his match due to a hamstring injury. Guinea star (Naby) Keita has return to training after missing the last two games with a hip problem. James Milner returned to action against Chelsea in the third round of the FA Cup.
