We have reached the fourth round of the 2023/24 League Cup and on the 1st of November we have a meeting between Bournemouth and Liverpool.

The match will be played at the Vitality Stadium and the hosts are currently 17th in the Premier League on 6 points while the visitors are in 4th place on 23 points.

Bournemouth come into the match on the back of a crucial 2-1 home win over Burnley in the Premier League on the weekend.

The Cherries fell a goal behind after only 11 minutes but responded well to equalise in the 22nd minute.

With the score 1-1 at the interval, it was Bournemouth who scored the only goal of the second half with 14 minutes remaining on the clock to win.

The victory over Burnley was the first win in 4 matches for Bournemouth, all of which were played in the Premier League.

They suffered defeats against Arsenal and Wolves at home plus Everton away.

Bournemouth have recorded only 2 wins in their 8 most recent fixtures in all competitions, with one of those victories coming at home in the League Cup against Stoke City.

Trends show Bournemouth have won 4 of their last 5 League Cup games, including wins via penalties.

They have won each of their last 10 home League Cup ties and have kept a clean sheet in 4 of their 5 most recent League Cup ties on home soil.

Liverpool travel down to the Vitality Stadium having beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 at home in the Premier League on Sunday.

It was a match Liverpool were expected to win and they took the lead in the 31st minute.

The Reds doubled their advantage before half time and added a third goal in the 77th minute to crown the victory.

The win over Nottingham Forest means Liverpool are undefeated in their last 5 games in all competitions.

There have been wins over Union Saint-Gilloise and Toulouse at home in the Europa League plus Everton in the Premier League.

The only match Liverpool failed to win was away to Brighton in the Premier League and that finished 2-2.

In terms of the League Cup, Liverpool have won 4 of their last 5 matches in the competition, with 2 of those wins coming via a penalty shootout.

They have won 5 of their last 6 League Cup ties on the road, keeping a clean sheet in 4 of those 5 wins.

Team news: Bournemouth are without suspended midfielder Lewis Cook.

Neto and Tyler Adams are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Emiliano Marcondes and Ryan Fredericks.

Liverpool make the trip south without the injured duo of Andrew Robertson and Stefan Bajcetic. Ben Doak and Thiago are both fitness doubts.

Bournemouth come into this match with confidence from the win over Burnley but Liverpool will be a different proposition.

Jurgen Klopp is likely to make some changes to the team that beat Nottingham Forest in the Premier League but they should still come away with the win, with over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
