Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will be without Philippe Coutinho for this afternoon's Premier League meeting with Swansea City, as the attacking midfielder continues his recovery from a slight hamstring injury.

Klopp has decided against risking the in-form Brazilian and starts Christian Benteke in his place. There are returns for long-term absentees Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge, who are both named on the bench.

Lucas Leiva, who is suspended, is replaced by Jordon Ibe in the line-up, with Adam Lallana dropping back into central midfield.

Swansea City midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is also suspended and will not face his former club.

He is replaced by Gylfi Sigurdsson in Garry Monk's only change from the side that drew 2-2 with Bournemouth at the Liberty Stadium last week.
