Premier League 2025-2026: Liverpool-Bournemouth, the likely lineups

The new Premier League opens with defending champions Liverpool ready to open the season in front of their home crowd. On Friday night, Salah and his teammates host an ambitious Bournemouth side still looking for their best form.

Arne Slot’s team restarts after last year’s triumph and the desire to quickly erase the disappointment of the penalty shootout defeat in the Community Shield against Crystal Palace.

The Cherries, led by Andoni Iraola, on the other hand, arrive without a win in the last four friendlies and with a completely revamped rearguard.

Probable lineups

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Frimpong, Konaté, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.
Coach: Arne Slot.

Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Petrovic; Araujo, Senesi, Hill, Truffert; Adams, Scott; Semenyo, Tavernier, Ouattara; Evanilson.
Coach: Andoni Iraola.
