This Saturday's late kick-off sees current league title holders Liverpool travel to the other end of the country to place Bournemouth.

For Liverpool they were favourites to retain their title heading into this season however they are now looking likely to be a part of the battle for top 4 and a subsequent Champions League spot, which even this isn't guaranteed. For Bournemouth there was a hope that a push for Europe could be on the cards however they currently sit all the way down in 15th.

They have shown to have lost the defensive stability that they showed earlier this season, in their last 5 they have conceded a staggering 14 goals whilst being unable to keep a single clean sheet.

2. Fulham 2-2 Liverpool
3. Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool

Liverpool have proven themselves to be masters of getting a draw in their last 5 and frankly have been doing this a lot all season. They have recorded a whopping 4 in their last 5 with the other game of the 5 being an expected FA Cup victory over Barnsley.

In terms of goals and defensive records Liverpool have had a highly average showing in both departments. Up front they have been able to score 7 in 5, not bad but not enough to propel their draws into wins.

Key Players To Watch:

Eli Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth):

The yong French forward is establishing himself as one of the best u21 talents in Europe so far this season which has proven to be an area of optimism for Bournemouth despite the poor campaign so far. Kroupi is the sides top scorer in the Premier League with 7 goals, he has been unable to provide a single assist so far this league season however with his 7 goals he is still the sides joint top contributor.

Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool):

Sticking with the theme of dangerous French forwards, we find Liverpool's most likely threat to be summer arrival Hugo Ekitike. The striker has been a smash hit in Merseyside so far this season and with his status as the sides top contributor in the league it's not a shock to see why. So far this season he is the sides top scorer in the league having bagged 8 and he has also provided 2 assists, in conjunction this makes him the clubs overall top contributor in the league.
