DBasia.news – Liverpool have just swallowed a defeat and are still at the top of the 2018/19 Premier League standings. Nevertheless, their performance is being monitored because they failed to reap full points in the last two games against Leicester City and West Ham United.
Now in the 26th week of the competition, the Reds will host a team that this season has performed well enough and often giving surprises when meeting top teams, Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday (9/2).
Not wanting his team to slip back and fail to get full points, one of the team’s mainstay midfielders, Fabinho asked his teammates to be alert to Eddie Howe’s squad, especially looking at the visitors with one eye.
“Defeating Bournemouth will be very important for Liverpool, we will also maintain a three-point distance with Manchester City. Currently, my attention and teammates is only in the match,” said Fabinho as quoted by the Mirror.
“After this match, Liverpool will be faced with a series of difficult matches, namely the away party against Manchester United and then the Everton derby. Luckily there will be some players who will return after previously being sidelined due to injury. The manager will easily determine the players composition,” he added.
It does not seem strange if the player brought in from AS Monaco did not want his teammates to underestimate Bournemouth, because Nathan Ake and his friends unexpectedly humiliated Chelsea with a landslide score of 4-0 on January 31st.
The condition of the Reds ahead of the match could be said to be not too good, in addition to failing to win in two matches in a row, Jurgen Klopp is also still confused with injured players, especially in the defense position. The German manager still cannot play Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez or Dejan Lovren.
