Liverpool have won 11 of their last 12 Premier League games against Bournemouth, with the exception being a 1-0 away loss in March 2023.
Bournemouth have taken just one point from 24 available away against Liverpool in the Premier League (W0 D1 L7), losing their last six visits to Anfield by an aggregate score of 23-2.
Liverpool haven’t lost their opening league game in any of the last 12 seasons (W9 D3), since a 3-0 loss at West Brom in 2012-13. It’s the longest current run without defeat on matchday one of any Premier League side.
In 33 previous Premier League campaigns, the reigning champions have lost their opening match of the season on just three occasions (W26 D4). However, all three of these have come in the last nine campaigns (Leicester v Hull in 2016-17, Chelsea v Burnley in 2017-18 and Man City v Spurs in 2021-22).
Bournemouth haven’t lost their opening league match in any of the last seven seasons (W3 D4) since a 1- 0 loss at West Bromwich Albion in 2017-18.
After winning the league with a 5-1 win against Spurs in April, Liverpool failed to win any of their last four Premier League games in 2024-25 (D2 L2). The Reds haven’t gone five without a win since between December and January in 2020-21 (D3 L2).
Bournemouth won 2-0 against Leicester in their final game of 2024-25, but haven’t won consecutive Premier League matches since January (vs Newcastle and Nottingham Forest).
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has scored more goals (9) and registered more goal involvements (14) on the opening weekend of a Premier League campaign than any other player. Indeed, only Paul Pogba (6) has more MD1 assists than the Egyptian (5).
Liverpool are back on their perch! The Reds stormed to a 20th Premier League title with these 84 goals during the 2024/25 season.

New Liverpool signing Florian Wirtz (10 goals, 12 assists) was one of only six players to register double figures for both goals and assists in the big-five European leagues last season. The Reds’ record signing could also become the third German player to score on his Premier League debut, after Jürgen Klinsmann in August 1994 and Ilkay Gündogan in September 2016.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has scored 105 Premier League goals at Anfield, with only Sergio Agüero (106 at the Etihad) and Thierry Henry (114 at Highbury) netting more goals at a single venue in the competition’s history. He’s also scored more Premier League goals against Bournemouth than any other player (11)
