What They're Saying
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe (via the Telegraph): "All I would say is that they [Liverpool] have got some outstanding players and an outstanding manager. Sometimes the result can influence people's perceptions. They created numerous opportunities at Old Trafford, and I'm sure they are coming into the game confident because of that."
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via This is Anfield): "As a manager you will always have tough periods, but I have great confidence in how staff and players work. We just need a little bit of luck and a break, and I think we will get that. When we get some consistent results, we can push on. When you are manager at Liverpool, one of the great clubs of the world, there is always going to be pressure. Expectancy on us this year is based on how we worked last season. We recognize the challenges of this season."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Liverpool created a myriad of chances against Manchester United utilizing Raheem Sterling as the lone striker in a 3-4-2-1 system. But the 20-year-old, boasting three goals, must do a better job of finishing said chances if Liverpool hope to escape the third round of the league cup.
Bournemouth's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Boruc; Daniels, Cook, Elphick, Francis; Pugh, Arter, Surman, Ritchie; Pitman, Wilson
Liverpool's Projected Lineup (3-4-2-1): Jones; Sakho, Toure, Lovren; Henderson, Can, Gerrard, Moreno; Lallana, Coutinho; Sterling
