At least that’s the verdict of BBC Sport pundit Mark Lawrenson, who spent seven years at Anfield as a player.
Liverpool go into this weekend’s showdown off the back of two disappointing draws against Everton and West Brom.
They’ll be hoping to get back to winning ways as they look to leapfrog Tottenham and move into the Premier League’s top four.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, are 14th ahead of Sunday’s showdown having come out on top in just two of their last eight fixtures.
Lawrenson reckons Eddie Howe’s Cherries will take the game to Liverpool at the Vitality Stadium.
He believes the Reds will be able to take advantage of that approach and run out 2-0 winners though.
“Liverpool have had an iffy week, dropping points against Everton and West Brom,” Lawrenson told BBC Sport.
“The Reds were pretty ordinary against the Baggies.
“Jurgen Klopp played the so-called ‘Fab Four’ after people moaned when he rested a couple of them at the weekend, but it didn’t make any difference – they all just had a poor night.
“Bournemouth have hit another sticky patch too, although their poor run has lasted a bit longer.
“The Cherries came back from 3-1 down with 15 minutes to go to win this game 4-3 in December 2016, but I don’t see them staging a repeat.
“In many ways this is the perfect game for Liverpool, because Bournemouth will not sit in.
“They will come at the Reds, and I think Klopp’s side will pick them off.”
