Kenya, January 24 2026 - Liverpool are heading to the Vitality Stadium determined to extend their impressive unbeaten run as they take on AFC Bournemouth in a Premier League clash that could shape their push for Champions League football. The Reds have not lost in 13 matches across all competitions and have won nine of their recent meetings with Bournemouth, giving them a strong historical edge going into this game.
The Merseyside club’s current run includes seven wins and six draws across all competitions, a mark that makes them one of the most consistent teams in Europe’s top five leagues right now. Their unbeaten league run stretches to ten matches, although four of those in the Premier League this calendar year have ended in draws. That trend shows Liverpool’s resilience, but also highlights their recent challenge in turning good performances into victories.
AFC Bournemouth arrive at this match in mixed form. The Cherries have only won once in their last 13 top-flight games and sit outside the relegation zone, but they have shown they can be competitive at home. Bournemouth have only lost two of their last twelve league games on their own turf, and they possess attacking threats that could test Liverpool’s defence.
Liverpool’s head-to-head record against Bournemouth is strong. The Reds have beaten the south coast side in 12 of their last 13 league meetings, and have kept multiple clean sheets in those trips. Mohamed Salah has been especially dangerous in this fixture, scoring 12 goals in 12 Premier League appearances against Bournemouth.
Despite Bournemouth’s struggles, their recent matches have produced goals, highlighting that they can still score even if they concede regularly. This means Liverpool must be ready to break down a defence that will sit deep and try to hit on the counter attack. Liverpool’s attacking players like Salah, Florian Wirtz, and Alexis Mac Allister will be crucial in creating chances and unlocking the home side’s defence.

This game offers both familiarity and intrigue. Liverpool’s quest to stay unbeaten and secure a strong league position is a storyline many will watch closely, especially given the club’s historic status and global support. Bournemouth, while underdogs, have shown spirit and could make this contest competitive.
In the end, Liverpool’s experience and squad depth could be the deciding factor. If they find their rhythm early, they can extend their unbeaten streak and keep momentum heading into the business end of the season. Bournemouth, on the other hand, will look for confidence and a result that could lift them up the table.
