Liverpool will endeavour to get off the mark in the 2023-24 Premier League season at the second attempt when they welcome Bournemouth to Anfield on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp's side were pegged back by Chelsea in a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge last week, as Axel Disasi cancelled out a Luis Diaz opener in West London.
The Reds will play host to Andoni Iraola's side 12 months on from their unforgettable 9-0 obliteration of the Scott Parker-led Cherries, who gleaned revenge with a 1-0 success at the Vitality Stadium seven months later.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Bournemouth, who played out a low-scoring stalemate of their own with West Ham United on matchday one.

Possible return date: August 27 (vs. Newcastle United)
Thiago Alcantara is yet to return from the hip operation that ruled him out of the final weeks of the 2022-23 campaign, and Saturday's game will likely come too soon for him as well, but there is optimism that he will be back in action before the end of the month.
