Liverpool preview: Unbeaten in 30
As expected, Liverpool made light work of Ipswich Town at Anfield last weekend, running out 4-1 winners in the end.
Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring with a fine individual goal after just 11 minutes and Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo made it 3-0 heading into the halftime interval. Gakpo added a fourth goal in the 65th minute and the Tractor Boys scored a consolation goal in the final minute to make the scoreline a little more respectable.
Joe Gomez, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones make up the three main injury concerns for Arne Slot's side.
Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), van Dijk, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Gakpo & Díaz

Player to watch: Justin Kluivert
Bournemouth forward Justin Kluivert is enjoying the best season of his career and we have selected the Dutch international as our player to watch this weekend.
The former Ajax and Roma man has scored 11 goals in 22 Premier League appearances this season and heads into Saturday's clash with Liverpool on the back of six goals in his last four outings in league and cup.
The Bournemouth star is in great form
Liverpool are going to be very tough for anyone to beat this season but we have backed Bournemouth to come away with a share of the spoils in what should be a very entertaining 90 minutes.
