Liverpool headed into the game having seen their form take a dramatic upturn in recent weeks.
The Reds went from sat in midtable to being just three points off the top-four.
And with Tottenham yet to play this weekend, Liverpool could move level on points with Spurs if they beat Bournemouth.
However, at the time of writing, Bournemouth, who Liverpool smashed 9-0 at the start of the season, are 1-0 up with over half an hour played.
Philip Billing opened the scoring 28 minutes in following some questionable defending from Virgil van Dijk.
The Dutchman stepped out of the backline and allowed Dango Ouattara to get goalside of him. The centre-back had plenty of time to recover but seemed to almost give up on the chase before Ouattara eventually set up Billing for the goal.
Virgil van dijk was at fault for that goal btw stepped up lost the attacker got beat and failed to contain the cross smh

Van Dijk has lost a lot of his pace. He doesn’t even look that good anymore
