Klopp unsure how people 'dare to judge' former Liverpool star over career choices
Premier League table-toppers Liverpool are aiming to extend their advantage over their title rivals as they travel to face Bournemouth this afternoon.
Manchester City’s win last weekend cut the gap at the top to just two points, with Arsenal’s thumping win over Crystal Palace yesterday putting them alongside City, but Liverpool can re-establish a more comfortable cushion with victory on the south coast.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have won their last four games in all competitions but will be wary of the danger their hosts pose, especially with talisman Mohamed Salah away at the Africa Cup of Nations and injuries to other key men such as Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Spearheaded by ex-Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke, Bournemouth had won four straight Premier League games themselves before a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham on New Year’s Eve and are generally enjoying an impressive first season under Andoni Iraola.

Bournemouth v Liverpool - Premier League updates
Show latest updateBournemouth 0-4 Liverpool
90+6 mins: Nunez gets yellow-carded as he blindsides Moore and clatters into him. The Uruguayan smiles and offers Moore a hand of apology. That booking will hardly ruin his day after two goals in a 4-0 win

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-4 Liverpool (Nunez 90+2’)
We will have one more goal in this game and a second for Darwin Nunez!
He’s not always the most clinical but it’s two lovely finishes from Liverpool’s No 9. Gomez lofts a ball into the box from out on the right touchline, midway in the Bournemouth half, and Nunez brings it down about seven yards out before flicking it into the corner past Neto.
His 10th goal of the campaign and a really nice one.

Bournemouth 0-3 Liverpool
90 mins: Eight minutes of added time. Jota will be eyeing up a hat-trick, otherwise both teams probably just want to reach the full-time whistle with no more injuries.

CHANCE! Bournemouth 0-3 Liverpool
89 mins: Huge chance for Bournemouth to nick a goal back! Brooks slips clear of the defence and is through one on one. Allison quickly off his line and Brooks skews his shot wide, trying to curl it round the Liverpool stopper.

Bournemouth 0-3 Liverpool
86 mins: Ah, this is bad news for Bournemouth. Max Aarons pulls up injured as he chases the ball. He goes down and looks resigned to his fate - you’d guess his hamstring has gone.
After a while, he gets up and is helped off the field by the physio. That will be his game up but as the Cherries have already made all five subs, they’ll finish the match with 10 men.

WATCH: Diogo Jota grabs his second goal
Diogo Jota’s second goal, and Liverpool’s third, came courtesy of another fine finish despite the initial mis-kick.

Bournemouth 0-3 Liverpool
82 mins: Liverpool into ‘rest our players up’ mode now that it’s 3-0. A couple of youngsters, Bobby Clark and Owen Beck, will get 15 minutes or so of action as Bradley and Jones go off.
Bournemouth also waving the white flag somewhat as Solanke is taken off and traditional target-man Kieffer Moore enters the fray. Philip Billing also on for Cook

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-3 Liverpool (Jota 79’)
Diogo Jota with another superb finish and that’s game over for Liverpool!
Great work by Gravenbercha nd then Gakpo to get the ball out to Nunez wide on the left. His cross is too long but Bradley puts it back in the box to Jota who scuffs his first shot but then absolutely belts the ball into the far corner, beyond Neto, with his second attempt as the ball sits up nicely. Superb!

CHANCE! Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool
75 mins: Could Max Aarons shoot there? The Bournemouth full-back brings the ball down well in the opposition box, cuts inside a defender from the right and finds himself eight yards out but tries to square to Solanke.
Konate slides in to block the ball from getting to the in-form striker. Great defending. The ball was slightly between Aarons’ feet but surely a shot was still the better option?
