Bournemouth vs Liverpool live score, result, updates, highlights from Carabao Cup fourth round match

Liverpool press on amidst a busy schedule as they travel to Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday.

Despite injuries and refereeing setbacks, the Reds have lost just one match all season owing to their suddenly deep squad, which contrasts from the surprisingly thin player pool just a season ago.

The Cherries would find an upset of Liverpool a big boost, but risking a thin squad by deploying too many first-team players is a decision that manager Andoni Iraola will have to weigh.
