Team in full

Alexis Mac Allister returns to the starting line-up as four players make their Premier League debut for Liverpool against Bournemouth.

Mac Allister was a second-half substitute in Sunday's Community Shield penalty-shootout defeat to Crystal Palace having had a truncated pre-season schedule due to an injury at the back end of last season.

However, the Argentina international returns to the team as the champions kick off the defence of their crown against the Cherries at Anfield.

Ben Doak is not in the match-day squad as the two clubs continue to discuss the finer points of a £25m switch.

Florian Wirtz starts as the most advanced midfielder with Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai behind the Germany international, who is making his competitive debut following his £116m move from Bayer Leverkusen in June.

Joe Gomez returns to the match-day squad having suffered an Achilles issue on the pre-season tour of Hong Kong.

Liverpool: Alisson; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.
