Liverpool will be away to Bournemouth this Wednesday in the fourth round of the EFL Cup. This is the third time the two teams are meeting in the competition. Bournemouth earned their first Premier League win of the season last time out at home. A 2-1 victory over fellow strugglers Burnley moved them out of the relegation zone and also ended a three-match losing run. Andoni Iraola’s men will now seek to ride off the high of the win and upset their in-form visitors. Bournemouth, who haven’t lost at home in the League Cup in 10 outings, defeated Stoke 2-0 at home in the last round. The win allowed them to advance to this round for the second successive season. It is highly likely that the team that started against Burnley will see a raft of changes made to it here.

Liverpool are also expected to make changes to their squad for this match. Jurgen Klopp’s men play their next three matches away from home and resting some first-team players is imperative here. The Reds have been in excellent form so far this season and have lost only once in 14 matches across all competitions. Seven of those victories have come in the league where they sit just three points off the pace. Liverpool defeated Nottingham Forest 3-0 at home last time out. The win extended their current unbeaten run to five matches and was their fourth victory in this spell. Wednesday’s visitors have won eight of the last 10 meetings with the Cherries. They have also defeated them the two times they have met in the League Cup. Liverpool were 3-1 winners at home against Leicester City to begin their Cup campaign.
