Liverpool’s momentum grows in win over Swansea as stars return from injury

Liverpool have won six of their last seven games in all competitions and sit within striking distance of the top four, trailing Arsenal by four points.

Liverpool will head into the match against Swansea on the back of a 2-1 victory over Ligue 1 side Bordeaux at Anfield in the Europa League Group B.

Liverpool lacked the stylish fluency of last weekend’s 4-1 dismantling of Manchester City away, although a resolute defensive display and the return of two potentially key figures ensured there was plenty to smile about for Klopp.

With a clear route to cup glory presenting itself on Wednesday night at St. Mary’s, Klopp is planning to field his “strongest team” to secure a win over Southampton.

“At this moment it’s only important to be concentrated on your own situation and your progress”.

Last month, Gary Monk admitted that Ayew’s “boyhood dream” is to play for Liverpool, so if the Reds go in with a decent offer in January, the club will nearly certainly sell, especially given the potentially humungous profit margin.

Liverpool are likely to be without joint leading scorer Philippe Coutinho due to a hamstring injury, while Daniel Sturridge is also expected to continue his injury absence after pulling out of a planned midweek comeback with a foot problem. “Now they are back and that’s really good for us”. Hopefully in the future I can learn even more from them.

“In this time you can not take this game and say “This is how football should be”.

Neil Taylor insists Swansea’s stars are still behind Garry Monk despite sliding closer to relegation.

Klopp has had just eight weeks with his new squad and although they have adapted to his pressing style well, he concedes he does not want to over-complicate his instructions to his squad while the season is still ongoing. He wants improvement, but he knows how things are. “I accept full responsibility for this run of results”. He’s been extraordinary and he knows how it works.

“It was good in many parts of the game. He’s shown nothing but support”.
