Hello and welcome to our dedicated Liverpool live blog for Sunday, August 20.
Liverpool recorded their first Premier League win of the season on Saturday afternoon, beating Bournemouth 3-1 at Anfield.
New signing Wataru Endo earned his first minutes in a Reds shirt during this contest, coming on with 27 minutes remaining, and the Japanese midfielder could soon be joined by fellow new faces in the coming days.

Moises Caicedo nightmare leaves Liverpool supporters all saying the same thing as Chelsea lose
Moises Caicedo made a start to life at his new club that no player dreams of – giving away a penalty.
The Ecuadorian infamously rejected the opportunity of signing for Liverpool last week, instead choosing Chelsea as his preferred destination in a British-record £115m deal.
He came off the bench in the 61st minute with his side trailing 2-1 to West Ham, ultimately lunging in on Emerson Palmieri in added time to concede a spot kick. Lucas Paqueta scored and the Hammers won 3-1 in the end.
Liverpool supporters couldn’t help but get involved with the immediate reaction to Caicedo’s nightmare debut.
