Fixture: Swansea City vs Liverpool
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 12:00 (UK time)

Liverpool have announced their starting eleven and substitutes for this afternoon's Premier League game against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, who knows his side have a crucial Europa League semi-final second leg clash against Villarreal coming up on Thursday at Anfield, opts to make a number of changes to keep players fresh. Danny Ward comes in between the sticks, while Martin Skrtel partners Dejan Lovren in the heart of defence. Kevin Stewart plays, as do Jordon Ibe and Sheyi Ojo.




There is experience added in the shape of Philippe Coutinho, who will be looking to feed striker Daniel Sturridge. On the bench, Klopp can call for Christian Benteke if he needs to bring on another striker.

Liverpool head into today's fixture sitting in seventh spot in the Premier League. The Reds are four points behind Manchester United, who are sixth, and four points off West Ham, who are fifth; Liverpool do though have a game in hand on the Hammers.
