Jurgen Klopp can see himself ending career at AnfieldThe IndependentJurgen Klopp could see himself ending his managerial career with Liverpool and expects that to be in the next decade. The German celebrates a year in charge at Anfield next weekend and so far has proved to be a very popular figure. His first season had its ups and downs but the Reds have made a flying start to the 2016-17 campaign and have been widely praised for their football.

Liverpool backed for Premier League success by very unlikely sourceThe IndependentPaul Scholes seemed to have forgotten all of his Manchester United loyalties when he said Liverpool could win the Premier League – before immediately regretting it. Liverpool have been in impressive form this season, comfortably brushing aside Arsenal, Leicester City and Chelsea and were unfortunate not to take all three points from the game with Tottenham.

Etienne Capoue: The complete midfielder doesn't play for the love of footballThe IndependentFor a man as good at football as he is, Etienne Capoue does not want to talk about it too much. Neither his successes nor his failures leave a deep impression on him. “If it happens,” he shrugs, “it is because it should happen. That’s it.”

Everything you need to know about Swansea vs LiverpoolThe IndependentA defeat for Swansea looks set to end Francesco Guidolin’s tenure in South Wales after only picking up one win and one draw so far this season. He himself knows he is on borrowed time and with rumours rife that Ryan Giggs is set to swoop in and take his place, only a win will keep the chairman off his back for another week or two.

Swansea 0 Liverpool 0: Oh what a chance! Swansea should be ahead - record signing Borja Baston heads over unmarked from six yards out. Great cross in from the right from Routledge.

GOAL! Swansea 1 Liverpool 0 - Leroy FerSwansea do score now! Boston makes amends, he drops deep at the far post at a corner and heads the ball back across the face of the goal for Fer to tap in at close range.

Swansea 1 Liverpool 0: Yellow card for Jordan Henderson who drags down Jack Cork. Then Swansea should score again! Again it's Baston who heads wide this time when unmarked from close range - great delivery into the box from Sigurdsson from a free kick. Swansea should be two up.

Swansea 1 Liverpool 0: Good stop from Fabianski from a long range effort by Firmino. Liverpool come a little closer after that though as Mane squeezes the ball under the keeper but it doesn't have enough to reach the goal and is cleared. Swansea break up the other end and come close themselves, but can't get the killer final touch.

GOAL! Swansea 1 Liverpool 1 - Roberto FirminoLiverpool are level. Coutinho blasts a free kick into the Swansea wall, Henderson plays the rebound in over the top and Firmino heads it into the far corner of the net.
