Molby highlighted Bournemouth's injury concerns, including the absence of key players like Semenyo and Tavernier, questioning their goal threat. He noted Bournemouth's inconsistent form and tendency to play with significant risk. Despite Bournemouth's energetic approach, Molby predicted a 3-1 victory for Liverpool, emphasizing the need for his former team to match their opponent's energy while controlling the game.
Liverpool has experienced a winless streak in the league during 2026, with four draws, including a notable 1-1 draw against Arsenal earlier in the month. The team is aiming to maintain pressure on the league leaders. In their most recent league outing, Liverpool drew 1-1 at Burnley. Their last encounter with AFC Bournemouth in the league saw Liverpool emerge victorious with a 2-0 scoreline, thanks to a brace from Mohamed Salah.
