| PROBABLE LINEUPS |
LIVERPOOL  Reina Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique Henderson, Adam, Lucas, Downing Suarez, Carroll | SWANSEA  Vorm Rangel, Monk, Williams, Taylor Gower, Britton, Allen Dyer, Graham, Sinclair |
That means a pairing of Lucas and Charlie Adam, which was so effective for the Reds against West Brom, should continue in the middle.
Centre-back Jamie Carragher may yet recover from his calf injury but a pairing of Agger and Skrtel, could continue after keeping what was only Liverpool’s 3rd league clean sheet this season in their last outing.
Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers may well choose to trust the same lineup used for the Swans past two games after recent positive results.
That side yielded an away point at Wolves, their first all season, and an impressive home win over Bolton Wanderers.
The attacking triumvirate of Joe Allen, Scott Sinclair and Danny Graham have three quarters of Swansea’s league goals between them this season and will hope they can finally bring that cutting edge to an away ground in order to build on their first away point.
