Swansea

The Welsh had managed to win Liverpool at the same stadium 3-2 last season but they lost to the Reds 2-1 at home, and it will be very interesting to see how the home team will cope with very strong guests from Liverpool this time. On top of it, they plunged to the bottom of the Premier League table, although they have just two points fewer than West Bromwich, three than Stoke and four less than 17th-placed Southampton.

Out of last five matches Swansea lost just one, to Tottenham at home in the league, while in the same competition they won away Watford and drew with Newcastle. Besides, in the FA Cup they eliminated leading team of the Championship Wolverhampton and have reached the fourth round, although they needed to play two matches to achieve that. Regarding problems with absences, on the list on injured players are still defenders Rangel and van der Hoorn, midfielder Sanchez and forward Abraham.

Probable lineups Swansea: Fabianski – Naughton, Fernandez, Mawson, Olsson – Carroll, Ki Sung-Yong, Clucas – Dyer, Bony, Ayew

Liverpool

We have said in the introduction that the guests from Liverpool comes to Wales after great home victory of 4-3 over currently leading team of the Premier League which was undefeated till previous round, Manchester City. Of course, the triumph will raise self-confidence of coach Klopp players in the continuation of season, where ahead of them are obligations in the FA Cup and Champions League, while in the league they will primarily try to stay at one of positions that lead to the Champions League.

After four-game winning streak the Reds reached the third round in the Premier League table and they have the same number of points like fourth-placed Chelsea, while they lag behind second-positioned Manchester United for just three points. On the other hand, in the race for Champions League is also fifth-placed Tottenham that has just three points fewer at the moment. It means that the Reds needs victory over Swansea, but they cannot count on injured defenders Clyne, Klavan, van Dijk and Moreno, midfielder Henderson and forward Sturridge.

Probable lineups Liverpool: Karius – Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Lovren, Robertson – Oxlade-Chamberlain, Emre Can, Wijnaldum – Salah, Firmino, Mane

Verdict:

Of course that very good Reds are regarded as absolute favourites against currently last positioned team in the league but we are certain that their very offensive style will leave enough room for fast counter-attacks of the guests, which is why we have decided to play here that both teams will score.

Pick: both teams to score 2.1 - 21/10 @1XBet
