Liverpool vs Swansea City Preview

Liverpool vs Swansea City

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Anfield

Date: 26th December 2017

Kick-off time – 17:30 GMT

Last Friday Liverpool were one of the teams involved in what is arguably the game of the season when they played out a 3-3 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates.

Truth be told, the Reds could have won that game but just like it has been for a long time, their defence let them down and a 2-0 lead was cut down by the Gunners with Liverpool needing a goal to level the tie eventually.

The Reds will be looking to get back to winning ways as they have been disappointing recently with just one win from their last four games however overall they remain unbeaten in ten games.

Swansea are not the toughest opposition Liverpool could face at the moment as the Swans have their own major problems to contend with.

They have fired Paul clement and replaced him with player-manager Leon Britton and he managed to get them a point in his first game last time out.

They have just one win, one draw and four losses from their last six league games – a run of results that has seen them slip into the bottom section of the league table, four points from safety.

Swansea have collected just 13 points from their opening 13 league games and are the league’s lowest scorers with just 11 goals so far.

They have won two, lost three and drawn one of their last 6 games against Liverpool.
