Conor Bradley’s participation is uncertain after he sat out the Community Shield. However, Liverpool’s new signings are ready to make their debuts.

Bournemouth are dealing with several injury concerns. Star performer from last season, Justin Kluivert, is doubtful after sustaining a knock during pre-season.
