Eddie Howe could probably stick with the favoured 4-3-3 formation and is expected to name a strong team for this home encounter. Joe Willock could get a chance to impress in the midfield while Joelinton drops to the bench.
Frank Lampard should continue with the 4-3-3 formation which earned him back-to-back victories against West Ham United and Southampton. However, the Merseysiders will have to keep their shape in the defence and capitalise on the counter.
