Bournemouth vs Liverpool Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Bournemouth:
Kepa; Cook, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Christie, Adams; Brooks, Kluivert, Semenyo; Ouattara

Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz

Bournemouth will welcome the Premier League leaders Liverpoo to Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Cherries are seventh on the table, but a win here could see them climbing higher. Liverpool, meanwhile, are first on the table, but Arsenal are six points behind, waiting for mistake. One thing is clear, this will be an interesting match. Bournemouth fans are dreaming about Europe. In the last round they beat high-flying Nottingham Forest with 5:0. What is important to be mentioned, the Cherries were without some key players due to injury, but that wasn't a problem. Dango Ouattara was "Player of the Match" after scoring a hat-trick, while Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo netted the remaining two goals. Just one week earlier Bournemouth demolished Newcastle United at St James Park. Three goals from Kluivert and late strike by Kerkez secured a 4:1 win for Bournemouth. Manager Andoni Iraola is doing a fantastic job and the fans are pleased. Iraola has some injury issues. He is still missing two important players - Evanilson and Enes - but there is more. Marcos Senesi, James Hill, Julian Araujo and new signing Julio Soler are also sidelined, while three players are rated as doubtful - Alex Scott, Luis Sinisterra and Adam Smith. But Iraola will surely start with the same eleven that produced last weekend's masterclass against Nottingham.

Liverpool are leaders in the Premier League. They also finished first in the Champions League group stage and they are successful in both domestic cups. The Reds were good so far, but don't forget that usually they have problem in the second part of the season. And some poor results already happened. Liverpool lost 1:0 to Tottenham in the first leg of Carabao Cup semi-final. They also lost 3:2 to PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday. Somebody may argue this two defeats are not a catastrophe and that's true - the second leg at Anfield is a chance for Liverpool to reach the final in League Cup, while they finished first in the Champions League despite the defeat in Netherlands. But losing the games is always tricky, at least I think so. However, something else is even bigger problem for the club. Three key players - Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk - are still negotiate with the club and their future remains uncertain. Trent want to go to Real Madrid, while Salah and Van Dijk are asking for more money to sign new contract. Slot has most of his players ready, only Dioga Jota is out injured, while Curtis Jones is rated as doubtful. Joe Gomez has recovered and could start from the bench.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool Prediction:

Bournemouth are in fantastic form. The Cherries won the last two matches. Not only they won, but scored 9 goals. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is high. Liverpool, meanwhile, are first on the table, they are the best team in the Premier League. However, Iraola's men are not afraid of anybody, they will go for the victory. I expect an open and efficient match.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool Pick: Over 3.5 goals @ 2.10 with Everygame

Chelsea vs West Ham United Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Chelsea:
Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson

West Ham United:
Areola; Coufal, Kilman, Mavropanos; Wan-Bissaka, Soucek, Alvarez, Emerson; Paqueta, Kudus; Bowen

Chelsea will welcomed West Ham United to Stamford Bridge on Monday night in the final fixture of this round. The Blues fans will also welcome Graham Potter, the former Chelsea manager, now in charge for West Ham United. I believe he will receive a nice reaction. Nevertheless, the actual manager Enzo Maresca must find a way to outplay the opponents as three points from this match are extremely important. The current form is mixed, one win, one draw and one defeat on the last three Premier League fixtures. First they shared the points with Bournemoth, then beat 3:1 Wolverhampton, while last week lost 3:1 to Manchester City. The defeat at Etihad surely impacted the players confidence and that's a big problem for Maresca. In addition, he has some injury and suspension worries. The Italian tactician will be without Omari Kellyman, Romeo Lavia, Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile through injury, while Mykhaylo Mudryk is suspended due to doping. My opinion is Chelsea have a big roster and Maresca will find adequate replacements.

West Ham are sitting on the 14th place with 27 points (at time of writing). They are 10 points clear of the relegation zone, but far away from the European spots. Considering the fact the club spent big money during the summer transfer window, somebody had to take responsibility for the poor results. Normally, it was the manager Julian Lopetegui. He was sacked and replaced by Graham Potter, the former Brighton and Chelsea boss. In the last round West Ham played an 1:1 draw away at Aston Villa. According to me it is a good result, particularly after the home defeat from Crystal Palace. Potter also has some injury worries, though the biggest news are positive. Centre-back Dinos Mavropanos is back from suspension and should slot straight back into the starting eleven. Key player Jarrod Bowen, who's struggling with a foot injury, has been involved in training over the past few days and is "hopeful" to be ready for the London derby. Four players are definitely sidelined - Crysencio Summerville, Michail Antonio, Niclas Fullkrug and Jean-Clair Todibo. Finally, Lucas Paqueta is rated as doubtful.

Chelsea vs West Ham United Prediction:

Chelsea won the last two mutual games with West Ham. Both victories were high, the Blues won 3:0 in the reverse fixture played in September and won 5:0 in May. I believe the series will continue. The main reason for my pick is the quality. West Ham are good team with solid players, but Chelsea are level higher. The Hammers are handicapped as Bowen is struggling with injury and that's a big handicap. The 28-year-old has been involved in nearly a third of the visitors' top-flight goals this season. He has a hand in nine goals, scoring five and assisting four. I am well aware of the fact he could play, but I think he is not 100% ready and that's a problem.

Chelsea vs West Ham United Pick: Chelsea -1.5 AH @ 1.95 with Pinnacle
