Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola said that home Saturday’s first League Liverpool leaders is “the biggest challenge of the season”.
Cherries are undefeated in 11 Premier League games and have taken more points than anyone since the end of November.
This race raised them in seventh place in one of the weekend games and they could even end the day in the first four with a victory.
Iraola described the match as “very difficult, the biggest challenge”.
He added: “We play well too. I don’t know if we will have enough for them, but we will see.
“They are probably the most dangerous side of the league, players know it. We have to go through the periods when they have a lot of blows.
“We have to match them, try to be clinical and score goals. IThey are certainly the biggest challenge of the season. I think they were the best team, not only in England but also in Europe this season.
“They are at the top of the league. They were at the top of the League in Europe, even if they did not play their first team in their last match. It shows their level.
“It’s going to be very difficult for us, but it’s also a good challenge. I think we are in a good time because we play well too. I don’t know if we will have enough, but we will try.

Bournemouth may be in great touch, but they have lost 11 of their last 12 games against the teams starting the day at the top of the Premier League table.
Iraola has no new worries about injuries to face and could have the winger Luis Sinisterra in his team.
