Alexander Isak revealed he has never regretted joining Liverpool since his move from Newcastle United last summer.

The 26-year-old joined the Reds for a British record transfer fee of £125m on deadline day in September 2025, but struggled under Arne Slot before a leg break in December ruled him out for four months.

Isak scored just four goals in 22 appearances last season, but has made a better start this term under Andoni Iraola, netting three times in six matches.

Liverpool are currently unbeaten in 2026-27, despite winning just one of their four Premier League games (D3) ahead of visiting Bournemouth this Sunday.

And despite their struggles last season, Isak has not had any feeling of regret since leaving Newcastle.

"No, never. I would never think like that," Isak told BBC Sport's The Football Interview when asked if he had any regrets.

"[The leg break] was tough. Anyone who had a long injury would know. But on the other hand, when you're in a good place and when you feel good, you don't really tend to look back because it doesn't really benefit you.

"So, I'm just looking forward and feel really optimistic and excited about the season, and what it can bring to us."

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are still waiting for their first Premier League win under Marco Rose (D3 L1), who succeeded Iraola in the summer.

However, the Cherries will enter this match with plenty of confidence after defeating Real Sociedad 2-1 in the Europa League – their first-ever match in a major European competition.

Alex Scott provided an assist in the victory, and he is thrilled to see Bournemouth competing at a high level.

"I’ve said it before but it’s incredible from where this club has been and where we are now," said the midfielder.

"Fighting in League One and League Two to now competing in Europe, it’s massive for the club.

"It's enjoyable. It's like that in the Premier League, having that buzz and that feeling and it was great competition for me and good for the club and I'm delighted to be here competing."

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Bournemouth – Marcus Tavernier

Marcus Tavernier has scored in four of his last five Premier League appearances for Bournemouth (four goals), having only scored four times in his previous 24 games combined.

His five games against Liverpool, however, have seen him on the losing side in all five games by an aggregate score of 22-2.

Liverpool – Alexander Isak

Isak has scored three goals in four Premier League games this season, already matching his total from his debut campaign (three in 14 games).

Two of those goals came in Liverpool's last away game, a 2-0 win at Ipswich Town.

MATCH PREDICTION – LIVERPOOL WIN

Bournemouth have lost 14 of their 18 Premier League games against Liverpool (W3 D1), though all three victories have come at home – 4-3 in December 2016, 1-0 in March 2023, and 3-2 in January 2026.

Liverpool have only failed to score in one of their 18 Premier League games against Bournemouth. They average three goals per game against the Cherries (54 goals in 18 games), their highest average against any side they have faced 10+ times in the competition.

The Reds have kept clean sheets in each of their last two Premier League games, more than in their previous 13 games combined (one). They have not gone three in a row without conceding since a run of four between May and September 2024.

Bournemouth have failed to win any of their four Premier League games this season (D3 L1), despite leading in all of them.

Only Manchester City in January 2004 and Tottenham in both October 2007 and December 2023 have ever gone five successive games in the competition's history of leading and not winning.

No side has had more shots on target in the Premier League this season than Bournemouth (24), with their six per game under Rose the most under any of the five managers to take charge of the Cherries in the competition.
