Bournemouth defender Steve Cook is a big fan of their next opponents Liverpool.

The Merseysiders will be missing stricken forward Philippe Coutinho for their Sunday date at Vitality Stadium.

“I think they're brilliant to watch – and so is their manager," said Cook.

“The way he has Liverpool playing is great. We want to see Bournemouth in the same category as Liverpool: attacking, pressing, playing entertaining football.

“You want to play against the best players but a Liverpool side without Coutinho possibly aren't as strong as they otherwise would be.

“Hopefully, we can benefit from him not being there."
