Liverpool will be pleased to return home after kicking off their EPL season away to Chelsea last weekend. A 1-1 draw was a good result for Jürgen Klopp’s men who weren’t quite at their best against the Blues, and new midfield signings Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai showed plenty of early promise. Even during Liverpool’s rare rocky moments, Anfield has always been a fortress, so the expectation here will definitely be claiming all three points against a Bournemouth side who have never won at the famous stadium. 

Bournemouth also opened the new season with a stalemate at home to West Ham. The Cherries went behind initially but earned a point courtesy of a late strike from Dominic Solanke. The South Coast side are hoping to build on last year’s 15th-place finish, but it’ll be a very tall order for them to come away from Merseyside with anything to show for their efforts. Even so, club investor Michael B. Jordan will no doubt be watching and hoping that Cherries can pull off an underdog victory befitting of a Hollywood movie. 

For Bournemouth the memories of this matchup last year may still haunt them. On that August day, Liverpool romped to a 9-0 victory, which is the joint biggest margin of victory in Premier League history. At the very least, the Cherries will hope to avoid a similar record-matching embarrassment. 

To find out how this one plays out you’ll need to watch a Liverpool vs Bournemouth live stream, and we’ve got all the details down below. Plus, make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.  

How to watch the Liverpool vs Bournemouth live stream wherever you are

The Liverpool vs Bournemouth live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock or another service and watch the game.
