Bournemouth got their first league win of the campaign on Saturday afternoon when they beat fellow strugglers Burnley 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium but the task awaiting them in the EFL Cup on Wednesday evening is far tougher.
Bournemouth will be looking to pull off a sizeable scalp on Wednesday evening when they entertain Liverpool in the EFL Cup and the south-coast outfit will certainly have been boosted by their weekend victory over Burnley. The Cherries brushed aside Championship outfit Stoke City to the tune of 2-0 in the last round of this competition and having edged past the Clarets at the weekend, the pressure has been eased on under-fire manager Andoni Iraola. Bournemouth made it through to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup in 2017/18 and 2018/19, however this midweek clash is a big test and the chances are that they fail to make it past this stage of the tournament.
Liverpool’s 3-0 thumping of Nottingham Forest at Anfield yesterday was their fifth successive league win on home soil and as things stand, Jurgen Klopp’s men sit in fourth position in the Premier League table after ten rounds of fixtures. The Reds’ defence of the EFL Cup came to an end in 2022 at the hands of Manchester City at this stage of the campaign but the likelihood is that Klopp’s charges will find themselves in the quarter-finals after Wednesday evening.
Klopp won’t be afraid to rotate his squad here but either way, Liverpool should prove to be far too hot to handle for the home side and we envisage the visitors taking the spoils here with both sides adding to the scoreline.
