Reds to go all out against Bournemouth…
Footballer writer @DamianLFCpl, whose source correctly named the starting lineup for the Manchester United game – has taken to Twitter to announce the XI Brendan Rodgers will put out this evening versus Bournemouth.
His claims are backed up in the Times by Tony Barrett, with one exception: that Lazar Markovic will start ahead of Coutinho.
Both reckon Rodgers will put a virtually full strength side, using a wing-back formation with Jordan Henderson on the right, and Alberto Moreno on the left. Kolo Toure will come in for the injured Glen Johnson on the right of a back three, while Lucas will replace Joe Allen in the centre.
Raheem Sterling will lead the line again, with Adam Lallana, and one of Markovic or Coutinho playing off him.
DamianLFCpl’s starting side:
Liverpool (possible 3-4-3): B Jones — K Touré, M Skrtel, D Lovren — J Henderson, Lucas
Leiva, S Gerrard, A Moreno — Coutinho, R Sterling, A Lallana.
Tony Barret’s starting side:
Liverpool (possible 3-4-3): B Jones — K Touré, M Skrtel, D Lovren — J Henderson, Lucas
Leiva, S Gerrard, A Moreno — L Markovic, R Sterling, A Lallana.
Henderson and Moreno as the wing backs again. Three at the back: Touré, Skrtel, Lovren. It’s from the same source as last time.

Sterling up front again. Gerrard and Lucas together in the centre. Lallana is also included in the squad.

Tony Barrett has almost identical line-up (he named Marković, but a source says it’s Coutinho). Full story: http://t.co/tjeUdhSgCp
