The Reds should avoid a potential banana skin on Friday due to their impressive attacking muscle, with Wirtz and Ekitiké having already hit the ground running. Mohamed Salah will expect to be among the goals at Anfield, too.
Bournemouth are likely to cause problems for Liverpool on the counter, with Milan and Palace having exposed defensive fragilities in preseason. However, they are unsettled at the back themselves and will struggle to keep the Reds at bay over 90 minutes.
Prediction: Liverpool 3–1 Bournemouth
