It’s a big game for…

Garry Monk: The Swansea manager’s position is reportedly in peril after a disappointing run of form from his team. Anfield may not be the best place to find a heartening result though, as a reinvigorated Liverpool are starting to find a winning formula under Jürgen Klopp.

Best stat…

8: André Ayew has eight goals and assists in 13 Premier League matches since joining the club this summer.

Remember when…

José Enrique finished off a brilliant flowing move to put Liverpool 3-0 up against Swansea in 2013. At the end of the game, the Reds had hit five without reply.

Player to watch…

Roberto Firmino: The attacking midfielder has played well in recent weeks, and exhibited his versatility, either playing in the No 10 role, or as a false No 9. He will relish the chance to extend his current run of form against a Swansea side lacking in confidence.
