Klopp unsure how people 'dare to judge' former Liverpool star over career choices

Liverpool moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 demolition of Bournemouth that extended their unbeaten league run to 14 games.

The visitors were frustrated in a cagey first half of few goalscoring chances but found a higher gear after the break with Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota both scoring twice.

Nunez made it 1-0 in the 49th minute after a slick passing move carved up Bournemouth’s defence and the influential Jota put the game out of reach of the hosts with two clinical finishes in the 70th and 79th minutes.

Uruguayan Nunez put the seal on a dominant Liverpool display with his second goal in stoppage time.

Jurgen Klopp reacts to ‘shock’ Mohamed Salah injury

Jurgen Klopp said it was a shock to see Mohamed Salah go off injured while playing for Egypt at the African Cup of Nations but Liverpool are waiting for the results of a scan to know the extent of his hamstring problem.

Liverpool’s top scorer has only missed 10 Premier League games in six-and-a-half seasons on Merseyside, and just three due to injury, and Klopp hopes the winger does not face a rare spell on the sidelines.

Reborn Liverpool approach Cherries rematch with even loftier ambitions

It was win 1.0 for Liverpool 2.0. Jurgen Klopp’s term for his second team at Anfield could take on a greater significance if they win his second Premier League title. Triumph at Bournemouth today and they would have a five-point lead at the division’s summit. This season’s first victory came against Andoni Iraola’s team in August.

And in a campaign that has amounted to something of a voyage of discovery – not least for Klopp, who has admitted he does not yet know where Liverpool’s destination will be but is enjoying the journey – the themes of a season were revealed early.

Liverpool went behind but recovered to win, and have gone on to take 19 of their 45 points from losing positions. They lost a key player within the game, with Alexis Mac Allister receiving a red card that was later rescinded on appeal, but showed their adaptability and doggedness to prevail anyway.

They got goals from three attackers, and Klopp’s five main forwards have contributed 30 of their 43 top-flight strikes. Liverpool, whose first defeat of the season could have come when a goal or a man down to Bournemouth, have still only been beaten once in domestic competitions since April.

It has been a dramatic shift in fortunes. After the trauma and troubles of last year, they acquired a confidence and momentum that has continued, sometimes in familiar fashion: Liverpool won with 10 men after trailing at Newcastle the following week. Suddenly, they had a springboard.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool tips: Premier League predictions, odds and free bets

Liverpool’s Premier League title credentials will be tested by in-form Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

Jurgen Klopp and his team know they need to respond to Man City and Arsenal wins, even without top scorer Mohamed Salah, whose injury while playing for Egypt in Afcon will naturally have the Reds concerned.

Bournemouth saw a run of four-straight wins in the Premier League ended in a 3-1 loss to Tottenham two weeks ago. Andoni Iraola’s men got back to winning ways by knocking Queens Park Rangers out of the FA Cup, but will not want their resurgence in the top flight to be stymied.

Liverpool are odds-on to beat Iraola’s men with football betting sites. Meanwhile, you can find a best price of 18/5 for the hosts to cause a stir in the title race.

After looking at the Premier League odds, here are our betting tips for Bournemouth vs Liverpool:

Everything you need to know about Bournemouth v Liverpool

Table-topping Liverpool will hope to extend their advantage over their Premier League title rivals as they travel to face Bournemouth.

Manchester City’s win last weekend has cut the gap at the top to just two points, but Liverpool can re-establish a five-point advantage with victory on the south coast.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have won their last four games in all competitions but will be wary of the danger their hosts pose.

Spearheaded by ex-Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke, Bournemouth had won four straight Premier League games themselves before a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham on New Year’s Eve.

Here’s everything you need to know.
