Fresh from their stunning demolition of rivals Manchester United, Liverpool travel to rock-bottom Bournemouth for the opening game of the Premier League weekend hoping to continue their fine form.

Jaws dropped to the floor at Anfield last weekend when Jurgen Klopp’s men thumped their greatest rivals 7-0, their biggest-ever win in the fixture.

It was the Reds’ fourth win in their last five Premier League games and their fifth consecutive clean sheet in the league, lifting them to within three points of the top four.

Bournemouth slumped to the foot of the table in heartbreaking fashion, surrendering a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 to league leaders Arsenal with the last kick of the game.

Back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and the Gunners have left the Cherries at the bottom of the pile, but the relegation battle is so tight that safety is just one point away.

Kick-off is at 12.30pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
