Confirmed Swansea v Liverpool lineups

Swansea host Liverpool in the Premier League this afternoon.

Swansea City will be looking to bounce back from last weekend's 3-1 home defeat to Manchester City as they take on Liverpool.

The Swans have lost four of their last five games, picking up just a point in that run as the pressure mounts on manager Francesco Guidolin.

Today, the Swans are without striker Fernando Llorente, meaning there is a start up front for the club's record signing Borja Baston starts in attack, with Gyfli Sigurdsson and Wayne Routledge supporting him.

It's a familiar side for Swans otherwise, with the likes of Lukasz Fabianski, Kyle Naughton, Jack Cork and Leroy Fer all starting this afternoon.

With no Llorente, young striker Oliver McBurnie is on the bench. along with summer signing Alfie Mawson as well as the likes of Neil Taylor, Ki Sung-yueng and Modou Barrow.

Meanwhile, Liverpool will be keen to continue their great form having hammered Hull City at Anfield last weekend.

The Reds have one of the most dangerous attacking line-ups in the league, and the likes of Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino all start in the final third this afternoon.

James Milner continues at left back, meaning Adam Lallana and Georginio Wijnaldum will play in midfield ahead of captain Jordan Henderson, whilst Loris Karius keeps his place in goal.

That leaves Simon Mignolet on the bench, alongside the likes of Emre Can, Ragnar Klavan, Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge, with Alberto Moreno and Lucas Leiva also available at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon.
