Divock Origi starts vs. Bournemouth; Adam Lallana, Ben Woodburn on bench

Divock Origi makes his first Premier League start of the season for Liverpool as they take on Bournemouth on Sunday, with fit-again Adam Lallana on the bench alongside youngster Ben Woodburn.

Origi has been limited to substitute appearances for the Reds in the league this term, but started the midweek EFL Cup win against Leeds and keeps his place in the team amid injuries to Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge. Roberto Firmino has shaken off a slight calf injury to start.

Lallana is named in a Liverpool squad for the first time since the 6-1 victory over Watford on Nov. 6 after recovering from a groin injury.

Woodburn also makes the bench for the Reds after becoming their youngest ever goal scorer following his strike against Leeds on Tuesday.

Liverpool defender Joel Matip, meanwhile, misses the clash with Bournemouth due to an ankle injury, with Lucas Leiva filling in at centre-back.

Bournemouth welcome back Jack Wilshere to their side after he was ineligible to face parent club Arsenal last week.

Artur Boruc also comes back into the team, with the goalkeeper having returned from injury.
