With one win in 10 matches a visit to Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool looks ominous for Garry Monk but, with Philippe Coutinho struggling with a hamstring problem and Lucas Leiva suspended, and the two have been key to their team’s recovery under the former Borussia Dortmund coach, Swansea will hope to frustrate at Anfield. Klopp has called for Liverpool to bring the devastating form that mauled Manchester City last weekend home with them. He is yet to taste a Premier League victory at Anfield but five wins from six matches in all competitions suggests the wait will not continue for long. Andy Hunter
