How to watch Liverpool vs Bournemouth: TV channel and live stream for Premier League today
Since last season's triumph, the Reds have spent nearly £300 million to strengthen their squad, bringing in Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Milos Kerkez.
However, Arne Slot's men were defeated on penalties by Crystal Palace in the Community Shield last week after a 2-2 draw in normal time.
Liverpool remain active in the transfer market. They have agreed a deal to sign 18-year-old Italian defender Giovanni Leoni, are reportedly still interested in Marc Guéhi, and remain in contention for the high-profile acquisition of Alexander Isak.
Bournemouth, who finished strongly last season, have retained only one of their starting four defenders.
Milos Kerkez, who could start for Liverpool against his former side, is joined in departure by Dean Huijsen, who moved to Real Madrid, and Ilya Zabarnyi, who completed a transfer to PSG.

Manchester City begin title quest with convincing win against Wolves
Erling Haaland and new signings Tijjani Reinders and Rayan Cherki combined as Manchester City thrashed Wolves 4-0 in their Premier League opener. Haaland struck twice either side of a fine effort from Reijnders, and substitute Cherki added a late fourth, as City began their quest for a seventh title in nine years in convincing fashion at Molineux. Reijnders also had a hand in both of Haaland's goals in what was a particularly impressive introduction to life in the English top flight. Whilst it may be premature to suggest City have found the ideal replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, it was a very promising showing from the Dutchman. His presence brought dynamism to a City side that also raised eyebrows in other areas. Most notably, goalkeeper James Trafford was handed a debut and Ederson – described as 'number one' by manager Pep Guardiola this week despite speculation over his future – was missing from the squad altogether. The club, however, later confirmed the Brazilian's absence was due to illness, with the 31-year-old suffering from gastroenteritis. John Stones returned in defence for his first appearance since February and another new recruit, Rayan Ait-Nouri, featured against the club he left in the summer. It was an emotional occasion for Wolves as they paid a series of tributes before and during the game to Diogo Jota, their former striker who died last month following a car accident. The visitors assumed control early on but did not create a clear-cut opening until the 19th minute when captain Bernardo Silva crossed for Haaland but the Norwegian, having to stretch too much, headed over. City had some moments of alarm as Wolves got behind the defence. Marshall Munetsi thought he scored when he headed past Trafford from a Matt Doherty cross but he was clearly offside. A chance also appeared to open up for Jean-Ricner Bellegarde but again the flag was raised. City took charge of the game after two moments of brilliance from Reijnders in the space of three minutes. The Netherlands international, whose outings at the Club World Cup may have helped him settle, played a delightful lob over the defence for Rico Lewis and his pull-back presented Haaland with a simple tap-in. Moments later the former AC Milan midfielder applied the finishing touch himself with a superb low strike across goal after Andre Gomes lost possession to Oscar Bobb. Jorgen Strand Larsen spurned a good chance to pull one back after the break when he side-footed narrowly wide and the same player also forced Trafford to palm over. Haaland increased City's lead just after the hour following more incisive work from Reijnders, who received a long ball from Trafford and exchanged passes with Bobb on the right. He continued his run and pulled back for Haaland to sweep home from the edge of the area. Cherki, having been on the field just eight minutes, added to Wolves' woes when he drove in from distance nine minutes from time after combining with Nico O'Reilly.

Fan arrested after alleged racial abuse at Bradford City game
A FAN in the away section has been arrested after an allegation of racist abuse at the University of Bradford stadium today. City confirmed that one of their players was targeted and police swiftly removed the individual in question from the Luton section at Valley Parade. A club statement said: 'Bradford City AFC strongly condemns racism and discrimination in all forms. We have a zero tolerance policy to such, unacceptable behaviour. 'We will fully cooperate with all ongoing police investigations.' Bantams boss Graham Alexander said: 'We saw it last night in the Liverpool game. It's got to be zero tolerance. 'There's no excuse for it at all, whoever says it. There's no place for it. 'I think the football world is handling that quite well and quite strictly and rightly so. 'Fingers crossed, it does get stamped out eventually by everybody. It's a societal problem. 'I'm sure it will be dealt with in the right way. I had a conversation with the referee straight after the game so hopefully that will be sorted. 'There's no place for it and I think it's a bad look on any club. It's nothing to do with Bradford City or Luton Town, it's one person saying the wrong thing in a wrong way.'

Hoops up and running with home win against Macclesfield
OXFORD City got their season up and running with a 2-1 win at home against Macclesfield. Josh Parker opened the scoring midway through the first half, with the Hoops lead doubled by Alfie Potter five minutes into the second period. Isaac Buckley-Ricketts netted with 12 minutes to go to set up a tense finale. Jacob Roddy blocked a goalbound effort inside the opening quarter of an hour, and then the Hoops nudged in front when a clever pass from Tom Scott freed Parker, who held off his man and rolled the ball home. Potter and Jack Bearne went close to doubling the Hoops advantage before half-time. READ ALSO: MPs write to Deputy PM asking for stadium approval 'as soon as possible' Five minutes into the second half, Potter made it 2-0 from close range after Scott crossed from the right-hand side for his teammate at the back post. Aston Villa loanee Sam Lewis denied Josef Yarney and then made a brilliant save to thwart Regan Griffiths from distance, as the Hoops maintained their two-goal advantage. Lewis was powerless though when Silkmen substitute Buckley-Ricketts netted from close range with 12 minutes left on the clock. The Hoops dug in though and held onto their lead, picking up all three points following the 3-2 defeat at AFC Fylde in the Enterprise National League North opener last weekend.
