Swansea v Liverpool, 12.30, Sky Sports

5starpool

Can Liverpool extend their winning streak? Can Swansea end their losing streak? We'll find out in a few hours. Lovren should return for Liverpool, the rest should be unchanged from last week.

Hopefully a good away win, but I don't think Liverpool have won a league game on this ground yet.

Won there 2 seasons ago with a flukish goal from Hendo

8-10

Liverpool frustrated but still sneaking it. 1-0

Oh right, well we have a bad record there anyhow. I remember 2 draws and 2 defeats there. I remember the league cup win there as well, strange I don't really remember that win.

Confirmed #LFC team v @SwansOfficial: Karius, Clyne, Lovren, Matip, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Mane, Coutinho, Firmino #SWAvLFC

Confirmed #LFC substitutes v @SwansOfficial: Mignolet, Sturridge, Klavan, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Origi #SWAvLFC

As expected.

5starpool

Swansea XI vs. Liverpool: Fabianski; Rangel, Hoorn, Amat, Naughton; Fer, Cork, Britton; Routledge, Sigurdsson; Borja.

No Llorente for Swansea.

Interesting test this for Liverpool's progress under Klopp. Would previously have been a type of 'Banana Skin' fixture.

Good to see how they handle it,

I fully expect a Liverpool win as I think this Klopp side is a different proposition to the one that lost 3-1 before.

Francie Barrett

3-0 Swansea and a "Klopp Out" banner to be unfurled by the end of the game.

5starpool

Hopefully a nice quiet match thread today.

StringerBell

Handy 3 points for Liverpool and then the Swansea become the first team to give their manager the boot and be heavily linked with Big Sam

Pyjamarama

Home side have started very well here.

Osmosis Jones

This won't be easy. Should be 1-0 Swansea already.

NukaCola

Not sure why Matip would take that long cross field option........

I'm just performing final checks on the Piper Cub, we'll be taxiing down the runway momentarily.

NukaCola

I know it only 5 minutes gone but very low energy display thus far.....

livinginkorea

Lucky there

5starpool

Haven't started well here, Swansea the better team so far.

5starpool

Balls, Swans score.

martyos121

Might as well turn it off now, gonna be one of them days.

Osmosis Jones

Terrible defending, truly terrible.

Pyjamarama

Still can't defend set pieces.

NukaCola

Milner/Henderson/Matip/Lallana/Wij all ball watching........

You could say that was coming

5starpool

Here comes the burst bubble. Shots from 30 yards have started already!

Vicxas

Smell of Burnley off this....

Good start.

8-10

Thought it was offside but can't excuse the defending

NukaCola

Swansea might actually come out and play unlike Burnley.....still plenty to go for here.

5starpool

Even if it was offside it was so marginal as to not really matter.

shamrock55

Another ****ing set piece,this will tell alot about where this team is going now

No team can do the high energy thing all the time in all games.

It can be a problem if it doesn't happen from the start and the opposition capitalise.

You'd expect that goal to wake them up and get their game on

Not going to happen now, 5star.

Lacklustre display so far but credit Swansea for their cutting off our passing lanes and making us go long.

DDC1990

Definitely offside on that angle.

****ty defending though.

NukaCola

Need our match winners to come up with the goods........

Buford T. Justice XIX

Has Coutinho touched the ball yet?

Osmosis Jones

Giving it away if we insist on crossing it so much.

NukaCola

Lovren and Matip look really ordinary today

Looks a tad head case ish. Can see him being booked shortly.

NukaCola

The more I see of Karius the less I like him......which is obviously a harsh thing to say but......

Osmosis Jones

Firmino's onside easy there.

Yea, no composure, we've seen he can play but all over the shop at the moment....

Jesus he's played hardly any games. At least give him time to settle into the side.

citytillidie

Can we gat at least one linesman knows the office rule

5starpool

It will be at least 8 months since our last clean sheet when we next keep one. I don't really care if we win though, but little sign of that so far today. Swansea not letting us do anything so far, they've been really effective.

NukaCola

Midfield being over run a bit

Sure we'll have him for the second half

Of course, I did say I was being harsh......

BorneTobyWilde

Swansea with something to hold on to
Burnley 2.0
This is a good test now
