Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola says Saturday’s game at home to Premier League leaders Liverpool is ‘the biggest challenge of the season.’
The Cherries are unbeaten in 11 Premier League games and have taken more points than anyone since the end of November.
That run has lifted them to seventh place going into one of the matches of the weekend and they could even end the day in the top four with a win.
Iraola described the fixture as “very difficult, the biggest challenge”.
He added: “We are playing well also. I don’t know if we will have enough for them, but we will see.
“They are probably the most dangerous side in the league, the players know this. We have to go through the periods where they have a lot of shots.
“We have to match them, try to be clinical and score goals. It’s definitely the biggest challenge of the season. I think they have been the best team, not only in England but also in Europe this season.
“They are top of the league. They have been top of the league in Europe, even though they didn’t play their first-team in their last game. That shows their level.
“It’s going to be very difficult for us, but it’s also a good challenge. I think we are in a good moment as we are playing well also. I don’t know if we will have enough, but we will try.”

Bournemouth may be in great touch but they have lost 11 of their last 12 games against sides starting the day top of the Premier League table.
Iraola has no fresh injury worries to deal with and could have winger Luis Sinisterra back in his squad.
