Two of the Premier League’s in-form teams will go head-to-head when the Cherries welcome league leaders Liverpool to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday evening. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.
Speaking to Sportskeeda ahead of Liverpool’s away tie with Bournemouth, Merson emphasized the importance of the next few fixtures:

“If Liverpool get seven points from these three fixtures, they will win the Premier League.”
However, Merson also acknowledged the challenges that Liverpool will face in these matches:
“But then again, you look at these fixtures and think, ‘Bournemouth are bang in form, Everton are a different beast under Moyes and well, Manchester City can beat anyone on their day’.”
