Michael Laudrup’s South Wales side travel to Anfield.

Check in to Liverpool vs Swansea City

Preview

It was uncomfortable for Brendan Rodgers when Swansea visited Anfield in October and dismantled Liverpool’s defence of the League Cup while supporters chanted “We don’t need you anymore” at their former manager. It will be a lot worse should Michael Laudrup’s team repeat the feat in the Premier League. Two losses in four days to West Bromwich Albion and Zenit St Petersburg have undermined talk of progress at Liverpool – though Daniel Sturridge, missing for both, will be back on Sunday – and Swansea arrive on Merseyside above Rodgers’ team and preparing for next week’s trip to Wembley.

STAT-ATTACK

Head-to-head

Swansea are unbeaten in their last four games against Liverpool in all competitions (W2, D2).

Liverpool have failed to score in any of the three Premier League meetings between the sides – two 0-0 draws and a 1-0 defeat.

The Swans have never won in 11 league matches at Anfield (D3, L8).

The last time Swansea lost to Liverpool was an 8-0 away defeat in an FA Cup third-round replay in January 1990. It remains Swansea’s joint-highest defeat.

Liverpool

Liverpool are the only club yet to win against a side currently in the top half of the table (14 matches).

They are the first team in Europe’s top five leagues this season to have 500 shots (including blocked shots).

The Reds are currently on an eight-game winless streak in home games played on a Sunday.

Swansea

Only 10 of the 29 league goals Swansea have conceded this season have been in away games.

Swansea have dropped just two points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other team.

Michu has scored five headers in the league this season, more than any other player.
