Bournemouth have been on a reasonable unbeaten run since the away defeat against Sprus, but they have not taken on a top six side since, and with the Liverpool match being an away game, I may not be the only king that the Cherries need to find more to their game to hold back Jurgen Klopp's side.
I am hoping that Bournemouth can find an inspired performance in defence as they have only managed one clean sheet in 2018 and if they could get one against one of the best sides in the division it would be a big step forward. While Bournemouth may not need any more points to stay up, the team does not know what a safe figure is and if they are to catch last season's 46 points they'll need to get some wins before the end of the season. Why can't they bag a win at Anfield?
