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.

FULL TIME

LIVERPOOL 2 - 3 SWANSEA 

Swansea leave Anfield armed with three points, which will propel them out of the relegation zone. Two goals from Llorente and a late winner from Sigurdsson sealed the deal to outweigh two goals from Firmino on home turf.

As for Liverpool however, this defeat will dent their title-chasing chances and will give the likes of Tottenham and Chelsea an opportunity to increase the gap at the top. It was certainly not written in the script, but The Swans work rate today was faultless and they defended relentlessly throughout. 

Liverpool continued to show glimpses of brilliance throughout, but it was not enough to put the game to bed and gain an advantage over their opponents. Could this be the day that the League got away from them? It's certainly going to be a season changing result. 

Now, make sure you tune in for updates and all the news from today's 15:00 o'clock kick-offs.
