Liverpool`s bid for Champions League football will resume on Wednesday night when they take on tricky customers AFC Bournemouth at Anfield.
Fresh injury concerns for Reds
Liverpool can give their chances of Champions League qualification a huge boost on Wednesday night by bagging their fifth home win a row. Victory would ensure that the RedsÂ’ top four hopes rest in their own hands heading into the final seven games.

Meanwhile, opponents AFC Bournemouth will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to five games as they seek to complete a season double over the team from Merseyside. The Cherries ran out 4-3 winners when the teams met at the Vitality Stadium back in December but their away record is poor, with just one win in their last nine on the road. Last time out, they played out a goalless draw against South Coast neighbours Southampton.
Team news
Sadio Mane will join Jordan Henderson, Oviemuno Ejaria, Adam Lallana and Danny Ings in the Liverpool treatment room.
Meanwhile, the visitors will have to make do without Andrew Surman, Adam Federici, Tyrone Mings and Callum Wilson..
