Liverpool 1-0 Swansea

At Anfield the Swans will be without former Liverpool player Jonjo Shelvey because the England midfielder is suspended for one game after receiving five yellow cards this season.

Liverpool pulled off a tremendous victory against Manchester City last week, making us all very aware of Klopp’s title aspirations. The sense of optimism that Klopp is bringing to the club is palpable, and if they can take the points here it will only add to their considerable momentum.

Liverpool emerged victorious, while Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal were denied maximum points in the Premier League on Sunday.

A 1 – 0 or 2 – 0 win for Liverpool is the most likely outcome with William Hill and Bet365 offering odds of 6/1 and 13/2 respectively on both results.

Swansea managed to ride out the early Liverpool storm and grew into the game as Gylfi Sigurdsson started to influence the attack but Simon Mignolet’s goal remained untroubled.

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has praised his team for dealing with the hard conditions and recording another win that moves the side up to 6th place in the league.

The Reds have won 4 of their last 5 games, and look in brilliant form.

Since Rodgers’ departure the 28-year-old, the longest-serving player of the current squad, has become a permanent fixture for Klopp starting every Premier League match.

– James Milner has scored in successive Premier League appearances against Swansea.

44% of the goals Swansea have conceded have come from set-pieces, the highest proportion in the top flight this season (8 out of 18).

On their last league outing at Anfield Liverpool were undone by Crystal Palace and Klopp has no intention of being caught out again.

The Brazilian star has started to settle in at Merseyside, and we saw the best of Roberto Firmino against Manchester City.

Indeed, it wasn’t until the 52 minute that either side had a shot on target, Ibe’s low drive from 20 yards being turned behind.

Ibe raced in from the right onto Adam Lallana’s through-ball after Milner had won possession.

“He is a big physical talent, really strong, it is not easy to get the ball from him”.

The Reds topped Swansea City 1-0 on Sunday at Anfield.
