Dugout Discussion – Monday

The Gameweek concludes at the Liberty Stadium where Liverpool put their 100% record on the line against a Swansea side buoyed by their 2-0 win at the Hawthorns last time out.

Brendan Rodgers returns to his old stamping ground and will be expecting a “warm†reception, along with a typically slick Swansea performance that is sure to test Liverpool’s new found resolve at the back.

The team news finds that Daniel Sturridge has been passed fit to play despite missing the recent England internationals with a thigh problem. Andre Wisdom is handed the right-back role in Glen Johnson’s absence, while Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho are the centre-backs – Kolo Toure only makes the bench after a groin problem, with Daniel Agger missing out altogether after picking up a knock in training on Sunday. Further up the field, Brendan Rodgers names Victor Moses on the left, allowing Philippe Coutinho to move centrally to “the holeâ€, with summer signing Iago Aspas dropping to the bench.

For Swansea, Michael Laudrup brings in Leon Britton and Nathan Dyer for Jose Canas and Pablo Hernandez – the latter misses out due to a hamstring problem; a real blow to the 185,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who snapped him up over the international break.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to accommodate the real-time chatter throughout tonight’s encounter.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Colman is a defender who costs 5.0+, so why would he ever be on the bench? Once you pay 5.0 for a defender they should be playing pretty much all the time.
