Liverpool starting line-up confirmed as Jurgen Klopp makes eight changes against Bournemouth
Jurgen Klopp makes eight changes in total as Dominik Szbosozlai and Mohamed Salah start for Liverpool at Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup.
Hungary captain Szoboszlai is part of a midfeld three alongside Wataru Endo and Harvey Elliott, although Curtis Jones's involvement means there is potential for tactical adjustments throughout the game itself at the Vitality.
Salah, who captains the side, starts on the right of the front three for what is just his fifth League Cup appearance for the Reds in six years. Cody Gakpo is also given his first start since injuring himself in the 2-1 loss to Tottenham at the end of September.

At the back, Joe Gomez will begin at right-back with Jarell Quansah and Joel Matip partnering each other in the centre. Club captain Virgil van Dijk is part of a strong bench alongside Ibrahima Konate as Kostas Tsimikas again deputises for Andy Robertson.
Jones's involvement gives him an opportunity to stake a claim for a Premier League recall at Luton on Sunday after serving the final game of his three-match ban in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
Alexis Mac Allister, Darwin Nunez, Ryan Gravenberch and Trent Alexander-Arnold are part of the bench at the Vitality, although Alisson Becker has the night off entirely.
Luis Diaz, meanwhile, is not involved as the search for his kidnapped father goes on back in his homeland of Colombia.
Liverpool: Kelleher, Gomez, Matip, Quansah, Tsimikas; Endo, Szoboszlai, Elliott; Salah, Gakpo, Jones.
Subs: Adrian, Van Dijk, Konate, Nunez, Mac Allister, Jota, Gravenberch, Scanlon, Alexander-Arnold.
