Swansea City vs Liverpool Preview

Swansea City vs Liverpool

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Liberty Stadium

Date: 22nd January 2018

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Carlos Carvalhal has done a good job since taking over at Swansea 3 matches ago.

He is yet to lose a game and even knocked out Championship leaders Wolves in their last game.

However, the Molineux outfit could replace them in the Premier League next season if they don’t build on that win.

They do not have the best home record this season as they have lost 7 and won just 2 of their 11 matches at the Liberty Stadium.

They come up against one of the best attacking teams in the league who secured an unlikely victory in their last league game.

Mohamed Salah has been a revelation for Liverpool this season and he ran the show in their 4-3 win over Manchester City last time out.

That win inflicted the first loss of the season on the league leaders and they will be looking to build on that in this game.

That win was their 5th on the bounce and takes them to 18 games without tasting defeat.

They are currently fourth in the league table following Chelsea’s comprehensive win at the weekend but a 5-0 win here would take them back to 3rd place.

Liverpool have won 5 of their last seven meetings with Swansea.
