The Official Swansea City vs Liverpool FC Match Thread on 03:33 - Apr 28 with 10188 views | jackharris | My first ever Swans versus Liverpool game was in 1990. It was the third round of the FA Cup! My next door neighbour got me the tickets as he was a turnstile operator at the Vetch! I remember being so excited that we were playing a top level team for once I put the tickets in an armoured box! I got extra tickets myself for friends from gaining vouchers from the Cardiff City match. 16,098 Fans were allowed into the Vetch. With around 3,800 fans from Liverpool. The game ended 0-0, but that was great because it meant the replay at Anfield. We were on Match of the Day and had the Great John Motson Commentating on the match. They had built a special commentary point behind the hoardings on the North Bank! We all know what happened in the Replay. Twenty-six years later we play Liverpool in the same league at home for the *fifth year running! A crowd of nearly 21,000 is expected (with nearly 2,100 Reds). The game is being shown on BT Sport in HD and has a kick off of 12pm. Alistair Mann: "Sandwiched between the two legs of their finely balanced Europa League semi-final, Liverpool will be forgiven for approaching this game with a great deal less intensity than you would normally associate with a Jurgen Klopp side. "With relegation pressures having evaporated, it perhaps offers Swansea the opportunity to record a rare victory against a team they've beaten only once since returning to the top division in 2011. "Having effectively completed his short-term mission, Francesco Guidolin's future has now become the main focus of the Welsh footballing scribes."If, as they predict, the Italian will be moving on in the summer, he will certainly be very keen to have as high a Premier League finish as possible on his CV, as well as a victory over Liverpool." WEATHER - Outlook for Saturday to Monday There will be sunshine and scattered showers on Saturday, with conditions becoming wet and windy into Sunday. Monday will be brighter with blustery showers but feeling less cool. Possible Team and Formation - Reports are that both Alberto and Leroy Fer will miss Sunday's Premier League match because of injury! It is difficult to say what the starting line-up will be 100%. Nordfeldt, Amat, Rangel, Taylor, Gomis, Barrow, Ki could be named on the bench. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is expected to rest a few of his big names ahead of the Europa League semi-final second leg against Villarreal. Philippe Coutinho went off at half-time in the first leg after feeling unwell and he is unlikely to start. WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin: "We need points. After that we can speak about other situations and other problems, but all I want is to make sure we are safe mathematically. "I have spoken to the players and they convince me they are ready to play to the final game." Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp bemoans the noon kick-off time, having played on Thursday night: "We could have started at two or four, so four hours more and that sounds absolutely okay. It is Sunday, all English people will have lunch and we play football. "I am pretty sure no one slept immediately when we got home (in the early hours of Friday). It wouldn't make sense to start with the same line-up. We need fresh legs and fresh minds at Swansea." LAWRO'S PREDICTION The Europa League is the priority for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, so with this game coming between both legs of their semi-final I am expecting him to field some of his fringe players. But even if Liverpool are not at full strength, Swansea will have to be much-improved on their showing against Leicester last weekend. Prediction: 1-1 MATCH FACTS - Swansea City Swansea could win four successive home games in the top flight for the first time since March 1982. The Swans have won 1-0 in their last three matches at the Liberty Stadium, and have kept six clean sheets in their last nine Premier League home matches. Their last five Premier League home wins have all been by a 1-0 scoreline. Liverpool. Liverpool have scored 17 goals in their last six Premier League away games. They have dropped 19 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season - the highest figure in the top flight prior to the latest round of matches. Daniel Sturridge has scored in six of his last seven league appearances, including each of the last four. [Post edited 29 Apr 2016 20:33]

For goodness sake have a go from the start. Dont play the boring formation and let them settle in. They need to know theres a match on from the start. Unless we decide to stick a couple of youngsters in ourselves, then who knows? Ayew up top in the shop window ? | |

Wouldnt be surprised to see Gomis and Ayew in the hope that they can do something to show on match of the day to boost their saleability. | |

Based on the last two performances, I wish I shared your optimism. Can't really see anything other than a 0-2 , one from a corner and a horrible deflection from a free kick off Williams, Fernandez and the crossbar | | | | Login to get fewer ads
