What happened. Liverpool travel to face Bournemouth as Andoni Iraola returns to the Vitality Stadium for the first time since leaving for Anfield. Florian Wirtz, criticised for failing to justify his £116.5m fee, has been called up to Jurgen Klopp's first Germany squad.

• Iraola faces his old club, with Marco Rose now in the Bournemouth dugout.
• Liverpool have started the season with three draws and one win.
• Wirtz has seven goals and nine assists in 52 appearances since joining from Bayer Leverkusen.

Wirtz will hope to answer his critics against Bournemouth and carry that form into Germany's first squad under Klopp.
