Premier League top scorer Mohamed Salah had a rare quiet day but it didn't stop Liverpool powering to a 5-1 win at Brighton on Saturday for its biggest victory this season.
Roberto Firmino scored twice while Philippe Coutinho added another goal and set up three as Brighton failed to deal with Liverpool's ability on the counterattack at the Amex Stadium.
Join Liam Corless from 2pm for all the latest from the day's Premier League 3pm kick-offs.
Phil Thompson reckons Stoke manager Mark Hughes is under huge pressure to get a result against Swansea today.
The Potters are fifth from bottom in the Premier League and have won just twice in their last 13 matches in all competitions.
"They (Stoke's fans) want more attractive football and it's not coming," Thompson told Sky Sports a few moments ago.
"Mark is in a very difficult position. We've seen clubs making these changes.
"I think this is a massive game. I think this game and next week's against West Brom will be massive towards his future at the football club."
Hughes has been in charge of Stoke since 2013.
