The five major leagues return to start the exciting season

The above Beidan competitions are the personal opinions of Monkey King, all of which are original comments. Good luck to everyone.

In the first round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, Liverpool faces Bournemouth at home.

In Slot's first season in the Premier League, Liverpool relied on Salah's phenomenal performance to win the 20th England top league championship in the team's history, and finally blocked the mouths of Manchester United fans. Obviously, Liverpool's goal in the new season is not just to defend the Premier League, so it made unprecedented heavy signings in the summer window. New players such as Wiltz, Ekitic, Flynnop, and Kolkz made a series of shots. Although Arnold, Dias, Nunes and other players left the team, overall, Liverpool is still considered the biggest favorite to win the Premier League championship in the new season.

At Wembley Stadium last weekend, Liverpool led twice but failed to secure the first championship of the new season. Henderson's outstanding performance in the penalty shootout made Crystal Palace laugh to the end. What worries Liverpool fans even more is that Liverpool has conceded a total of 10 goals in all competitions in the past five games, and the loopholes in the defense line are fully exposed.

Fortunately, since losing to Nottingham Forest in September last year, the Reds have been unbeaten 17 home games. In addition, since Liverpool defeated West Brom 0-3 in the opening game of the 2012/13 season, it has maintained 12 unbeaten games in the Premier League (7 wins and 5 draws), which gives them more confidence in the first round of the league in the new season.

The visiting team Bournemouth also had a great record in the Premier League opening game. The last team to defeat them in the first round of the league was West Brom, which was the 2017/18 season. "Cherry" set a record of Premier League points in the team's history (56 points) and the least conceded (46 goals) last season. However, head coach Ilaura witnessed the collapse of the team's defense in the offseason, and it seems that it is already difficult to continue its strength.

Zabarney and Heisen were pried away by Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. Left-back Kolkz has already been in the team against Liverpool in this game, and goalkeeper Kepa also chose to return. Ilaura was forced to make up for the team, introduced central defender Diakite and left-back Truffelt from Ligue 1, and brought Chelsea goalkeeper Petrovic to the team. Bournemouth has performed poorly in the last four warm-up matches, losing to Manchester United and West Ham United, and then tied two consecutive games with Real Sociedad. What's worse is that Bournemouth's record is terrible when he is away from Anfield - the Premier League era has only scored 1 point in 24 away games, and has conceded 23 goals in the last 6 visits.

In terms of personnel, Liverpool midfielder Heraffenberg was dyed red in the last round of the league last season and will miss the opening game of the new season, and Joe Gomez (Achilles tendon injury) and Bradley (Muscle injury) are also likely to be absent. However, McAllister has fully recovered and can play and form a midfield partner with Jones.

On Bournemouth, Yuenal and Cook continue to be absent due to knee injuries. Christie, Sinistera and Cruivet Jr.'s recovery progress is inconsistent. Sinistera is the most likely injured to catch up with the first round of the league, while Cruivet Jr.'s situation is the least optimistic. Former Chelsea goalkeeper Petrovic is expected to have his first start for Cherries, and Semenho, who has recently completed the contract renewal, will continue to appear on the wing.

Both teams are stretched in the central defender position, so this game is likely to become a happy offensive battle. Just compared to offense, Slott's Liverpool is worth any opponent, and the defending champion may start the journey of the new season strongly.
