Swansea have been bizarrely inconsistent so far this season, extending their trend of unpredictability under new manager Garry Monk. They’re down in tenth place heading into the round, but have won only thrice away from the Liberty Stadium this season. It’s hard to see them causing an upset at Anfield.
Liverpool will still be without several long-term injured players, though Glen Johnson returns to the squad after his lengthy layoff. Swansea have Kyle Bartley, Alejandro Pozuelo and Michu all out.
Liverpool injuries and suspensions
Out: Sebastián Coates (knee), José Enrique (knee), Lucas Leiva (knee), Mamadou Sakho (hamstring). In doubt: None.
Swansea injuries and suspensions
