After suffering their first loss in the Premier League, Liverpool will be looking to redeem themselves as they play host to Bournemouth at Anfield. The match schedules for 7th March with kickoff at 15:30 GMT.
Jurgen Klopp has been on a spiraling week with the loss to Athletico Madrid, paving the way for more vulnerabilities in the side. A 3-0 thrashing at the Vicarage Road with a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea for the FA Cup fifth round was enough to taint the nearly perfect record.
However, Liverpool sets to lift the Premier League cup if they register four wins in their remaining matches. However, it will prove to be a daunting task, especially with their current form. Despite the squad depth, Klopp is coming to terms with the harsh nature of the league.
Bournemouth rise to the top has come to a shocking turn, with the side acing relegation battles. A draw to side Chelsea was enough to see the side enter the relegation zone. Coach Eddie Howe notes the need for improvement in the side to avoid a dip back into the championship.
Will the maestro Klopp overturn the current dip in form for the side to secure a straight title win, or will Eddie Howe use the disarray to pull off the side from a relegation battle?
