PREM: Liverpool v Swansea City preview


Liverpool v Swansea City preview

Liverpool will look to extend their unbeaten home record to 26 matches as relegation-threatened Swansea City visit Anfield on Saturday.


Despite their strong record at home, Liverpool's win at Plymouth in the FA Cup on Wednesday was their first win in five games in all competitions.

That run of results included two draws in the Premier League and they head into this weekend seven points behind league leaders Chelsea, who play Hull City on Super Sunday.
 
Swansea lost 4-0 at home to Arsenal in Paul Clement's first Premier League game in charge last weekend, meaning they have lost 14 of their last 20 league games.

Despite being rooted to the bottom of the Premier League, an unlikely three points at Anfield would lift them outside the relegation zone if Sunderland and Crystal Palace lose.
 
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and Nathaniel Clyne are expected to be fit. Both players returned to training on Friday after muscle and rib injuries respectively.

Jurgen Klopp will restore his big names as he fields his first-choice line-up following the FA Cup replay win over Plymouth and that could mean a first league start since November 26 for Philippe Coutinho.

Swansea new boys Martin Olsson and Tom Carroll are available, but Luciano Narsingh's debut is set to be delayed again as the Dutch winger has yet to recover from a calf problem.

Leon Britton could also miss out with an unspecified injury, while Neil Taylor is absent once more with a fractured cheekbone.
