4. Liverpool put four past Bournemouth

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are romping to their first ever Premier League title and it doesn’t look like anyone can stop them this season. The Reds have been sensational for all of 2019 and barring something remarkable or a terrible slip-up, the Merseyside club are going to lift the trophy in May.

This weekend Klopp’s men travel south to face-off against Bournemouth in a match that shouldn’t give the German manager too much fear. In the past four meetings between the two clubs, Liverpool have scored 14 goals and not conceded once.

Those stats coupled with the fact that Liverpool have scored 12 times in their past four Premier League matches means that this could be a long afternoon for Bournemouth. The Cherries have lost their last four matches and have really struggled to keep teams out this season.

Whether it’s Saido Mane, Mo Salah or Roberto Firmino it’s unlikely that one of the Reds’ potent front three won’t find the back of the net this weekend. All that Bournemouth can hope for is that they can find the back of the net themselves.

The Cherries normally give it a good go at home and as Liverpool have conceded in all but two Premier League matches this season, it’s hard not to see them allowing another goal at the Vitality Stadium.

If Eddie Howe’s side can score then they can remain competitive in this match but it’s unlikely they’ll be able to take anything from this game as Liverpool will have too much firepower for them. Nathan Ake will score for Bournemouth but the Reds will put four past the Cherries. Saido Mane, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino will all find the net with the Brazilian bagging a double.
