The fourth home matchup with a London club
The Cherries will host Liverpool in the fourth round of the League Cup following our 2-0 victory against Stoke City on Wednesday night. Dominic Solanke and Joe Rothwell each scored twice in the second half. On Saturday in the Premier League, AFCB is hosting our visitors, Arsenal, who are currently in fifth place, at Dean Court. This game, which will start at 3 p.m. as usual, will be challenging for our club.
