Eddie Howe will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to instruct his men to defend their penalty box well and try to expose Liverpool’s weaknesses on the counter.
Arne Slot will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation once again and could ask his players to move the ball well and engineer enough clear-cut chances to win this contest.
