Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has selected an experienced side for tonight's Premier League clash with Bournemouth.
FULL TEAM: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Lucas, Can, Wijnaldum, Coutinho, Firmino, Origi
SUBS: Karius, Moreno, Alexander-Arnold, Grujic, Woodburn, Matip, Sturridge
BOURNEMOUTH: Boruc, Smith, Francis, Cook, Daniels, Ibe, Arter, Wilshere, Pugh, King, Afobe
* The immediate surprise is that Klopp has left 'brilliant' Joel Matip on the bench, but according to the Liverpool Echo: "Matip misses out with a back problem so Klavan comes in at centre-back".
* Matip is proving to be increasingly injury prone, and neither he nor Lovren can be relied upon to remain fit for extended periods of time.
* After an excellent performance against Everton, Lucas retains his place in midfield.
* With Mane out, Origi starts the game, but whether he'll play as the central striker remains to be seen.
* On Tuesday, Klopp suggested that he may move Milner onto the wing, but judging by the lineup, it looks like he'll stay at left-back.
* Daniel Sturridge finally returns from his latest injury absence. Expect another injury at some point over the next few weeks.
Probable formation:
------------ Mignolet
Clyne --- Lovren - Klavan ---- Milner
----- Can ---- Lucas --- Wijnaldum
---- Firmino - Origi -- Coutinho
