It is still early doors but Liverpool look head and shoulders above the rest in the Premier League. They are unbeaten in 32 games – a club record – and can win with explosive attacking power or with defensive grit and determination. Bournemouth’s chances of even a point look grim considering their best player this season – Harry Wilson – is unavailable to face his parent club. Liverpool have won their last four meetings by an aggregate score of 14-0. Graham Searles
