Swansea vs Liverpool, Premier League

But just because Liverpool is in better form as of late doesn’t mean it will cover the spread against Swansea.

Klopp, however, is uninterested in the records he’s about to break and the history he’s making with the team.

Sumpter’s model has identified strong value on which side you should back against the spread.

“It’s only the next game and I can’t imagine any easy games in the Premier League”.

“That game was a little odd because the team conceded two or three goals with the same mistakes they’ve been doing before”, the Portuguese said.

Among the winners: The math professor’s model nailed Liverpool (+0.5 goals) vs. Manchester City and Leicester City (+1.5) at Chelsea. Joe Gomez and Andrew Robertson should start as the full-backs as has been the case in recent weeks.

However, the Reds have lost two of their last four encounters with the Swans, including a fixture in May 2016 when Liverpool paid the price for complacency and over-confidence in their trip to South Wales. Carlos Carvalhal clearly sees the Ghanaian as an important player for the fight against relegation.

For what it’s worth, we at 101 Great Goals aren’t sure whether the Times have got Liverpool’s XI in the right formation.

Read on for viewing details, following by team news and a full match preview. He faces the biggest test of his short spell so far on Monday night against a Liverpool side very much in form.

Firmino has scored five times in his last three league appearances against Swansea, including braces in each of the last two.

Salah has scored 18 goals in the top-flight this season. He works relentlessly to press the opposition and shows his ability on the ball when his side has possession.

Swansea boast the league’s lowest goal tally – hitting the net just 14 times in 23 matches in the Premier League. Although it’s unlikely he’d feature anyways with Carvalhal preferring the power of Wilfried Bony and the speed of Jordan Ayew up top, on-loan striker Tammy Abraham will be watching from the sidelines as he continues his recovery from an abdominal injury.

Liverpool expect to have winger Mohamed Salah and centre-backs Ragnar Klavan and Dejan Lovren available after the trio suffered a bout of illness. Virgil van Dijk is fit again after sitting out the game against Manchester City and could be in line for his first league appearance for his new club.
