Bournemouthvs.Liverpool

sportsmole.co.uk, 30 January 2025, 10:30

A tough examination of Liverpool's title credentials awaits on Saturday afternoon, as Arne Slot's men make the trek to the Vitality Stadium to face an in-form Bournemouth side.

The Reds maintained their six-point advantage over Arsenal at the summit by easing past Ipswich Town 4-1 last time out, and the leaders still possess a game in hand on their closest title rivals.

However, Slot's men will not expect as easy a ride against Andoni Iraola's men, who incredibly demolished Nottingham Forest 5-0 in gameweek 23 to stretch their unbeaten Premier League run to 11 matches.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 23

Bournemouth wins: 2

Draws: 3

Liverpool wins: 18

Only becoming frequent foes after Bournemouth's first-ever promotion to the Premier League, Liverpool have faced the Cherries just 23 times down the years and have unsurprisingly built up quite the streak of head-to-head dominance.

Indeed, the Reds have bested Bournemouth in 18 of their 23 showdowns, while also accepting a point on three occasions and only being defeated twice, both of which came away from home in December 2016 and March 2023.

However, since their last Philip Billing-inflicted loss in the 2022-23 campaign, Liverpool have conquered Bournemouth in four successive matches across all competitions, winning each of their last three Premier League battles.

Arne Slot's first taste of Cherries action in September 2024 ended in a convincing 3-0 triumph for the Reds, who put the game to bed by half time as Luis Diaz bagged a brace before fellow South American Darwin Nunez completed the rout.

During Jurgen Klopp's final Liverpool season in 2023-24, the German's side made light work of Bournemouth in the Premier League with a 7-1 aggregate success, although they could only eke out a 2-1 win in the EFL Cup last 16.

Klopp's crop had no problems finding the back of the net when Bournemouth visited Anfield in August 2022, though, obliterating Scott Parker's men 9-0 in what remains the joint-biggest Premier League win for any team to date.

Before Bournemouth earned their Premier League stars in 2015, they exclusively met Liverpool in cup competitions from 1927 to 2014 and took them to two FA Cup replays, but the Reds eventually came out on top in both of them.

Merseyside marksmen also dominate the individual goalscoring charts in this fixture; Mohamed Salah leads the way with nine strikes against Bournemouth, who have also conceded five times to Diaz and Roberto Firmino and on four occasions to Nunez and Sadio Mane.
