Swansea CityLiverpool
The reds have been banging in the goals of late and currently find themselves in 4th place in the table – one point clear of the chasing pack. Their away form in recent weeks has been sensational –they have scored 16 goals in their last 4 away games, blowing away West Ham, Stoke, Brighton & Bournemouth but their home form is a concern. Mohamed Salah has notched an incredible 20 goals (in all competitions) for the reds this term and looks set to clinch the golden boot in English football this season.
Swansea City
The Swans are rooted to the bottom of the table and need inspiration in their fight against the drop. Paul Clement lost his job on Thursday and he leaves a side that have only managed 10 goals from their opening 18 games and look to be sliding towards the Championship. With 12 points registered from 18 games, they currently sit 3 points from safety and look to have it all to do. Wilfried Bony limped off against Everton meaning Tammy Abraham could be entrusted to lead the line and add to his tally of 4 Premier League goals this season.
