Liverpool to begin Premier League title defence against Bournemouth - Thomas Frank’s Spurs reign will start against Burnley, while Sunderland face West Ham and Leeds take on West Ham.

But it’s the potential absence of talisman Salah at the Emirates Stadium on January 7 that will worry the Liverpool faithful, given the fixture comes in between AFCON’s round-of-16 and quarter-final stage. Unless Egypt suffer a group stage exit, it’s unlikely Salah will be part of the squad for the trip to Arsenal.
