Arne Slot has some decisions to make over his side vs Bournemouth(Image: Getty Images)

Liverpool head into the new Premier League season as defending champions - and will hope to say the same in 12 months’ time.

Arne Slot’s side are very keen to keep hold of their crown, having spent heavily in the transfer market.

The Reds have welcomed former Bayer Leverkusen duo Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, while Hugo Ekitike and Milos Kerkez are also among their headline arrivals.



A centre-back is also on their agenda amid interest in Marc Guehi.

So with just a few days to go until Liverpool’s Premier League opener against Bournemouth at Anfield, Slot has been left with a few decisions to make when it comes to his starting XI.

Despite interest in Guehi, it appears highly unlikely that the defender will arrive at Anfield before Friday evening’s game so both Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate should be named on the teamsheet.

What starting XI should Arne Slot name vs Bournemouth?

Should he not show any adverse reaction, then he looks likely to be drafted back into the starting XI.

Fans will then get to see Florian Wirtz take to a Premier League pitch for the first time as he claims the number 10 role.

On the topic of new signings, there could also be a few stationed in what looks like an electric Liverpool front three.

Egyptian sensation Mohamed Salah is one of the first names on the teamsheet under Slot and will claim his place on the right.
