RAM – Roberto Firmino
EOTK has backed Brendan Rodgers to hand new boy Roberto Firmino a start against the Cherries on Monday night after a promising showing off the bench against Stoke last week. The former Hoffenheim man showed bursts of quality against the Potters, but tonight will provide the perfect opportunity to see if he can do it over 90 minutes.
LAM – Philippe Coutinho
Ibe and Lallana are likely to be the two men to drop to the bench should Can and Firmino be thrown into the starting XI, with Coutinho’s stunning winner against Stoke certainly keeping him in the side.
ST – Christian Benteke
Benteke was relatively quiet in the win over the Potters, but he is likely to get another chance following his £32.5m arrival from Aston Villa. Liverpool showed signs of adding more directness to their game, with Brendan Rodgers looking to take advantage of Benteke’s aerial presence.
