Sky Sports' Lewis Jones...
Narrative is always worth listening to in football betting. Andoni Iraola returning to Bournemouth with Liverpool feels like one of those occasions where the emotional temperature at the Vitality Stadium could be turned up a few degrees.
Iraola spent three seasons on the south coast, taking Bournemouth to their highest-ever Premier League finish before moving to Anfield this summer. He returns on Sunday for the first time.
There are some interesting historical parallels, too. Managers returning to former clubs for the first time can find the occasion awkward. David Moyes lost at Everton with Manchester United, Graham Potter lost at Brighton with Chelsea, while Thomas Frank drew at Brentford with Tottenham, Brendan Rodgers drew at Swansea with Liverpool and Mauricio Pochettino drew at Southampton with Tottenham.
These results highlight the unusual dynamics of these fixtures. The home crowd knows the manager, the players know the manager and there is an extra edge to the occasion.
Bournemouth are 19/10 with Sky Bet for the win.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1
