JARELL Quansah says Liverpool will face a Cherries side with “a lot of bright players” and “experience” in the Carabao Cup this evening.
The young centre-back will hope to get another chance to feature for the Reds, having started in the win over Leicester City in the last round.
The winners of the tie at Vitality Stadium will progress into the quarter-finals.

“Every team you’re going to play at this stage is going to be a good team,” Quansah told Liverpool’s club website.
“Especially Bournemouth, they have got a lot of bright players.
“I know a couple, so I have seen their quality for years and they have got a lot of experience.
“So it’s going to be a tough task no matter what.”
The England under-21 international, who had a spell on loan at Bristol Rovers last season, debuted for Liverpool in August and has now played six times for the first team.
Discussing the opportunity the Carabao Cup presents, Quansah said: “It has been shown to be a good opportunity for the younger lads.
“For myself, it’s definitely one to try to take.”
The 20-year-old added: “I was in the stands (for the 2022 final). A great atmosphere, we were right next to the Liverpool end, the younger lads were there.
“You were just so buzzing for the team.”
