Swansea host Liverpool at the Liberty Stadium later tonight (16th September) as Liverpool will look to reclaim their place at the top of the league – a draw would be enough to send them to the top with four matches played.
Jonjo Shelvey should recover in time to face his old club while Nathan Dyer is still a doubt for Swansea.
Glen Johnson’s injury is not as bad as first thought but he is likely to miss the match while Daniel Sturridge should be fit for Liverpool after withdrawing from England’s squad for their FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Let’s have a look at the stats ahead of the match:
- Liverpool have won their last 5 Premier League matches
- Liverpool have kept clean sheets in six of their last seven Premier League matches
- Liverpool have been winning at both half time and full time in their last four Premier League matches
- There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Liverpool’s last four games in the Premier League
- Liverpool have won their last four away games in the Premier League with a one-goal margin
- Swansea have failed to win their last six home matches in the Premier League
