Liverpool visit Swansea City later today, aiming to stay within touching distance of the top four. After a lengthy rest period, stretching back to last Sunday’s game against Blackburn, the Reds should be well up for this one.

Liverpool transfer news
Here’s how we think they’ll line-up
GK) Simon Mignolet
Still no Brad Jones, so still no competition for the in-form Belgian, who will undoubtedly keep his spot in the team.
DRC) Emre Can
The German played in midfield against Blackburn, but a couple of timely returns should see him return to the back three.
DLC) Mamadou Sakho
It’ll be a toss up for Brendan Rodgers whether to include Sakho or Lovren, who has started the last few games. We’ve gone for the Frenchman.
DC) Martin Skrtel
The Slovakian is supposedly fine despite his clash with Rudy Gestede in that FA Cup quarter-final. He should be fit to start.
MR) Raheem Sterling
The youngster has played in a wing-back role for the last couple of games, and will start here again in the absence of Jordon Ibe.
ML) Alberto Moreno
Rested against Blackburn, and will no doubt be eager to get back involved against Swansea. He should be the clear choice.
MC) Steven Gerrard
Liverpool have promised that their captain is fit to return, and he’ll go head-to-head with Joe Allen over the starting spot.
MC) Jordan Henderson
With Gerrard and Allen on their way back from injury, all eyes will still be on Henderson to lead the midfield charge.
AMRC) Adam Lallana
Put in an uninspiring performance against Blackburn, and needs to play well here to prove that he deserves his place in the team.
AMLC) Philippe Coutinho
The Brazilian has been in fine form all season, and will no doubt have benefited from a week’s rest. Will he grace with another great goal?
FC) Daniel Sturridge
Brendan Rodgers’ quest to manage Sturridge’s game time has been aided by a week off, and the England man should be fit and firing here.
