Despite last season's triumph that saw them finish 10 points ahead of second-place Arsenal, the Reds have undertaken a major squad overhaul, with Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike all brought in on big-money deals. Not forgetting dynamic left back Milos Kerkez, who is set to face his former club today.
That $300 million summer spending spree has been partly funded by a sizable exodus of established names, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Jarell Quansah all heading out the Anfield exit door.
Bournemouth impressed last season but has also had a summer of significant upheaval, with defensive trio Dean Huijsen, Kerkez and Illia Zabarnyi all sold for significant sums. Those departures may have reduced expectations of another push for European qualification this term, having narrowly missed out last season, but the retention of coveted manager Iraola as well as star forward Antoine Semenyo nevertheless gives hope of another strong campaign.
