This would be the starting line-up to face Bournemouth in Liverpool's Anfield opener

We are very close to seeing our Liverpool debut at Anfield in what will be the second Premier League match against Bournemouth, a game that for many Reds fans is a must win that could put us on track to compete for the Premier League title.

Until a week ago, Jürgen Klopp and the Anfield board were in search of a new defensive midfielder, as the signings of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia failed to materialize and were Klopp's priority. However, Liverpool turned the page very quickly and in a matter of a couple of days the arrival of Wataru Endo, a 30-year-old Japanese defensive midfielder from Stuttgart, was finalized.

Although his move to Liverpool came as a surprise, fans are already eager to see what the now former Stuttgart captain, who has described himself as a player with defensive capabilities who can bring solidity to the team in the lower half of the pitch, can do.

With just under two hours to go until kick-off, journalist James Pearce has reported that the Japanese has received his work permit so we could see him debut for the Reds today, although it is unlikely that he will start today.

What would be Klopp's starting XI to face Bournemouth?

According to the latest reports, Jürgen Klopp would not make a single change with respect to the team that started the match against Chelsea last week. Alisson, Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Luis Díaz, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota would start this afternoon's match.
