Preview...

It’s a big game for…

Luciano Narsingh: The January addition could be the driving force behind a struggling Swansea side. The 28-year-old has phenomenal pace that could cause an upset in the final third.

Best stat…

Swansea have never won away to Liverpool in the Premier League. Is it time for the Swans to put an end to this curse?

Remember when…

Jose Enqirue finished off a superb team move to put the game to bed against Swansea, showing his individual ability and Liverpool's strength going forward. The Swans will be glad that he’s not in Saturday’s side.

Player to watch…

James Milner: The 31-year-old has scored in three of his last appearances against Swansea, so Paul Clement’s men will be hoping that he will not continue this tradition at Anfield.

GOAL

LIVERPOOL 2 - 2 SWANSEA

Firmino has doubled his tally in absolute style - what a goal that is! That is the best of the bunch. 

Wijnaldum takes the ball down delicately and delivers the ball into the box, Firmino then chests the ball down and hits it on the half-volley past Fabianski. 

It's all to play for now for the remaining 20 minutes. Anfield has come alive!

GOAL

LIVERPOOL 2 - 3 SWANSEA

They've done it again, and this time it's Sigurdsson!

Carroll runs at the Liverpool defenders and does well to poke the ball into the path of Sigurdsson, who pokes it past a helpless Mignolet.

What a game we have on our hands now! The old cliche 'a game of two halves' springs to mind here...

77 MINS

Milner delivers a cross into the box, but Cork manages to head the ball to safety. The Swans will be relentlessly defending now, with just over 10 minutes to go.

79 MINS

Substitution: Olsson is replaced by Rangel

[21 January 2017 14:08 · Joe Miles]

81 MINS

Lovren goes for goal from distance and it's a tremendous strike, with Fabianski forced to tip it over the bar. Everyone is well aware of his ability to strike from long-range, so that no doubt momentarily worried the Swansea fans.

84 MINS

Substitution: Llorente is replaced by Baston

[21 January 2017 14:13 · Joe Miles]

86 MINS

Liverpool relentlessly attack the Swansea goal, but Lallana is denied by the crossbar and then again by the fingertips of Fabianski. The Swans have done well to hold onto this, but it looks although the last five minutes is going to be one way traffic. Can they hold on? We'll see.

88 MINS

Sigurdsson takes a free-kick just outside of the Liverpool box, but it's an anti-climactic strike that dribbles wide.
