Key Highlights
- At home, though, qualifying for next season’s Champions League is perhaps the best Liverpool can hope for.
- After a mini revival in December, the defending champions haven’t won a Premier League game in 2026 (four draws) and are therefore now looking over their shoulder. Liverpool remain fourth in the table but just six points separate them and teams in the bottom half.
- Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle are in that pack and play tomorrow. Bournemouth might have expected to be challenging for the European places after their fast start to the season but they’ve won just once since October and are seven points clear of the drop zone.
- Andoni Iraola is still getting to grips with the Antoine Semenyo-shaped hole in his team since the forward’s sale to Manchester City. Kick-off at the Vitality Stadium is 5.30pm (GMT) and I’ll bring you team news shortly.
