Bournemouth vs Liverpool should be another tight affair as both sides are desperately needing a win in what should be a highly action-packed meeting at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, 24 January.
Bournemouth vs Liverpool have normally resulted in some entertaining encounters, which included the Reds’ 4-3 win over the Cherries in their first match of the 2025/26 campaign.
However, with both sides having seen their league form drop off in recent weeks, they are gunning for a big performance in this upcoming clash, and only the most clinical side will be able to get the win.

Inconsistent Bournemouth Eager To Get Revenge Against Unpredictable Liverpool
The Bournemouth vs Liverpool match is likely to be a dramatic encounter because of the hunger both teams have for three points at this point in the campaign.
The Cherries have only won one of their last 10 matches, which has caused them to fall all the way down to 15th in the Premier League table as Andoni Iraola’s side need a big win to revitalise their spirits.
Liverpool might have defeated Marseille in their recent UEFA Champions League meeting, but they have drawn their last four Premier League matches and are at risk of falling out of the top four with their torrid run of form.
The Reds need to turn these draws into wins, and to do so, they must be more efficient in converting their chances in the upcoming Bournemouth vs Liverpool clash.
Arne Slot’s side have won their last six straight matches against Bournemouth, and they are eager to maintain that record by being at their clinical best in this upcoming game.

Can Evanilson Tap Into His Ruthless Streak To Sink Liverpool?
The sale of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City has left an impact on Bournemouth’s frontline, and it also seems to have raised the dependency on Evanilson to produce the goals for them.
The Brazilian forward has scored four goals in 20 Premier League games this season, but they have all come in big matches against Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.
Evanilson needs to tap into his clinical best, having scored two goals in his last three league games.
To open up the Liverpool back line, the Brazilian striker has to be smart with his movement as he’ll need to get himself into the right positions to be able to put his chances away and if Bournemouth have any chance of beating the Premier League champions.
Revitalised Mohamed Salah Looking To Get Back Among Goals
Mohamed Salah is yet to achieve his best form for Liverpool in the 2025/26 season, but after a relatively prolific Africa Cup of Nations tournament with Egypt, he’s looking to lock in his permanent starter role for the Reds.
Salah hasn’t scored in his last four Premier League games for Liverpool, but he will aim to end that drought against Bournemouth.
The Egyptian King has an impressive record against the Cherries, having scored 12 goals in 12 Premier League games against them, which included his goal in the 4-3 win at Anfield earlier this season.
Liverpool’s number 11 will aim to regain his best form at the Vitality Stadium, but he needs to be sharp and efficient in front of goal aswell as help from his teammates to raise his morale and help end Liverpool’s winless run in the league.
