Liverpool return to Premier League action this evening following their European exploits earlier this week.

With their place in the semi-finals of the Champions League secured, attention now turns to consolidating their place in the top four. That means seeing off the challenge of Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth, who have all but guaranteed their Premier League status.

Joel Matip, Emre Can and Adam Lallana are all unavailable for the hosts while Bournemouth will be without defender Adam Smith.

79' - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain tries his luck from distance but the midfielder's curled effort flies well over the crossbar.

88' - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain really connects with a strike from 30-yards but the ball whistles just past Asmir Begovic's far post.

That would've been some way to round off an easy day at the office for the Reds.
