Bournemouth host Liverpool with both sides unbeaten this season
Bournemouth and Liverpool meet at the Vitality Stadium on matchday five of the Premier League, with neither side having lost in their last five league outings. Bournemouth have gone WDWDD across that run, while Liverpool have posted WDWWD, giving the visitors a slight edge with three wins to Bournemouth's two.
A fixture Liverpool have usually won
The head-to-head history between these two leans firmly towards Liverpool. Of the last five meetings, Liverpool have won four, including a 4-2 victory at Anfield in August 2025 and a 2-0 away success in February that year. Their heaviest win in the sequence came in January 2024, when Liverpool beat Bournemouth 4-0.
Bournemouth's lone win in that span came in January 2026, when they beat Liverpool 3-2 at the Vitality Stadium, showing they are capable of springing a surprise on home turf against this opponent.
What is at stake
With both teams still unbeaten domestically this season, Sunday's game offers a test of consistency rather than a chance to arrest a slump. Liverpool's slightly better win ratio in recent matches makes them the side with the stronger current form, but Bournemouth's home record against Liverpool, including that recent win, suggests they will not be intimidated by the occasion.
