Liverpool travel to the Liberty Stadium on Monday night to face Swansea City, who lie at the bottom of the Premier League with 17 points.

Jurgen Klopp's side will be full of confidence after their blistering attacking display against league leaders Manchester City last weekend.

The Reds became the first side to inflict a league defeat on Pep Guardiola's men, however the German will be concerned with the way his side conceded two late goals.

The Anfield outfit are now third, ahead of Chelsea on goal difference and will look to improve on their brilliant goals tally after a 5-0 win in the reverse fixture on Boxing Day (watch the highlights below).

What is the team news?

Liverpool record signing Virgil van Dijk is a doubt after suffering a hamstring injury, but is expected to make his return having missed the game against Manchester City.

Top scorer Mohamed Salah and defenders Dejan Lovren and Ragnar Klavan are all expected to recover from illness.

Captain Jordan Henderson (hamstring) and Alberto Moreno (ankle) are back in training but are not likely to be ready until next weekend's FA Cup tie at home to West Brom.

Swansea are waiting to assess striker Tammy Abraham as he has missed the last four games with a hip injury, but the return of Wilfried Bony from a hamstring problem has bolstered the strikeforce.

Mike van der Hoorn (muscle injury), Renato Sanches (hamstring) and Angel Rangel (calf) should all be available.
