Premier League's defending champions Liverpool will take on Bournemouth in the curtain raiser of the new Premier League season in a nail-biting kick-off ahead of the new year. The 20-time champions host the Cherries on Aug 16 to mark their title defence, and we know how you can grab tickets.
The Reds, who have been quite shy in the transfer market, spent big this window. Having secured the services of Jeremie Fimpong early on, they signed a superstar in Florian Wirtz. Arne Slot's side is still in talks for other star names like Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi, so they'll be one to watch ahead of the Premier League.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, had half of their defence raided by top clubs, including Liverpool, for Milos Kerkez. Andoni Iraola hopes to finish strongly this season and aim for European spots after a rebuild. Their attack, which was quite shining last season, hopes to fire again with Evanilson leading the charge alongside Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert.

Held at Anfield, the iconic home of Liverpool, it's set to be a good start to the season. Liverpool saw a title lift at Anfield with its supporters for the first time in 35 years last season. The iconic Kop end was bouncing with infectious energy as the celebrations extended into the night and beyond. The stadium has been home to Liverpool ever since they were formed in 1892. All four stands of the stadium are popular and need no special introduction. They are: The Spion Kop, The Main Stand, The Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand and the Anfield Road End.
After a recent expansion at the Anfield Road End, Anfield's capacity rose to 61,276, allowing more and more fans to watch the Reds. The stadium is also a popular concert venue, as famous artists like Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift regularly perform at the venue.
The stadium had a rich history of hosting international fixtures over the years, including the Euro 1996. However, the stadium has been unable to host international events since 2006 because of the club's inability to extend the pitch to match UEFA's parameters due to the proximity of the stands to the pitch. You'll also find Liverpool Women at home here, having played several games in the WSL.
