Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers will be hoping to keep the pressure on the top three in the Premier League with three points against his former side.

Rodgers left Swansea City for Liverpool in the summer of 2012 and has transformed the Reds into a side that can claim to be in the hunt for the league title.

Jordan Henderson is likely to earn a recall to the starting lineup, while Simon Mignolet will return in goal.

Swansea have failed to win in their last three games under Garry Monk but the Welsh outfit impressed when they recorded a goalless draw with Napoli in the Europa League on Thursday.

Winger Nathan Dyer is a doubt after going off injured against the Serie A side, but Jonjo Shelvey could return after proving his fitness as a substitute.
