Things in the Premier League may be going swimmingly so far for new Liverpool boss Arne Slot, but now he wants his players to step up and show the Kopites what they've been missing in the club's absence from the Champions League.

The emphatic 3-1 win at the San Siro against AC Milan was a terrific way to start, and now he'll be eager for a convincing win over Bologna in a match where his team will start as overwhelming favorites.

It's been far from such a strong start to Vincenzo Italiano's reign at Bologna. They have only one league win so far this season in Serie A and were held to a scoreless draw when Shakhtar Donetsk visited the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara two weeks ago.

But can the Italians throw a wrench in the works today? Keep reading as we explain how to watch Liverpool vs Bologna live streams, including where you can watch for free.
