Reigning champions Liverpool kick off the new Premier League (PL) season against Bournemouth at Anfield, beginning their quest for a record-breaking 21st top-flight title today @8pm

Liverpool start the season as favourites to retain their Premier League crown, spending in excess of £250million on the arrivals of Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, and Hugo Ekitike. Frimpong and Ekitike were on target last time out in the Community Shield, but FA Cup holders Crystal Palace prevailed by winning on penalties at Wembley. They will hope to quickly park that Wembley disappointment in this Premier League curtain raiser, and nine wins from their last 12 season-opening Premier League games suggest they're good value to do so. Bournemouth have lost several high-profile players over the summer, including Kerkez, to Liverpool. Dean Huijsen and Ilya Zabarnyi have also headed out the door, meaning we could yet see a new-look Cherries side after the Anfield thriller. Goalkeeper Đorđe Petrović and defender Adrien Truffert have arrived in Dorset, and both will hope to help thier new side continue their impressive seven-match unbeaten run in PL openers (W3, D4). Further confidence comes from the fact that last season’s ninth place finish was Bournemouth's joint-best in the top-flight, Bournemouth have scored in 14 of their last 15 away games, Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch and Bournemouth’s Lewis Cook are serving suspensions picked up at the end of last season
