Liverpool vs. Swansea - Three reds who can make the Swans suffer

Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez has been in sensational form this season and is one of the reasons why Liverpool are just four points off the top of the table. At times he has been unplayable and despite being in the middle of his longest barren spell in front of goal, he is still comfortably the Premier League’s top goal scorer with 23 goals in 21 appearances.

The Uruguayan is the focal point of the Liverpool attacking line – playing through the middle with Sturridge and Raheem Sterling deployed in the wider positions of a front three. Although he is used as the central striker, Rodgers has given him the freedom to roam the attacking third of the pitch, making him even more elusive to the opposition defenders.

The 27-year-old has also demonstrated that there is more to his game than just scoring goals this season. He has created more chances than any other Liverpool player with 53 key passes and eight assists to his name, including three in his last four outings.

If he isn’t scoring goals he’s creating them and the Anfield faithful will no doubt appreciate the hard work he does for the team. But after a run of three league games without a goal Suarez will be eager to add to his own tally. His ability to single-handedly win matches is still there and Swansea cannot afford to underestimate his capabilities.
