Swansea City and Liverpool begin Sunday’s Premier League action as they do battle at the Liberty Stadium. The Swans need to restore some pride in the wake of two heavy losses on the bounce, while the Reds could extend their unbeaten streak to six matches with a well-rounded performance in Wales.

Swansea came up short in the final third across their previous four outings, recording just three goals and the second-fewest shots on target (11). That trend could be set to continue when you discover that they rank third-bottom for goals (16) and bottom for shots on target (52) in home clashes. On the defensive end, the Welsh club conceded the fourth-most goals (nine) and the joint-second-most big chances (12) in their last four fixtures.

Liverpool boasted the league’s most effervescent attack over their last four match-ups, charting top for goals (12), top for attempts (83) and top for shots on target (29). The Merseysiders also rank fourth for goals (28) and third for shots on target (85) in away fixtures. Only Manchester City have surrendered fewer shots inside the box in road matches than Liverpool (88 compared to 108), which suggests that the hosts may struggle to manufacture clear-cut chances.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Yep. You better believe it.

      1. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        I have Cresswell you see

    2. Sjaugen

      Swansea are atrocious away

    3. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      West Ham will have a decent team out

  11. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Montero assist?

    1. Mistletoe
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      more like an Ojo error

      1. Jimmers

        *Lucas

  12. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    What's the story with Robles? Will he play this week?

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Probably not. Howard's leaving the club in the summer and Everton have nothing to play for.

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Robles will play next 2 away games (DGW games) and Howard will play last game at home - according to Martinez

        1. mr messi
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Think I might play Darlow anyway

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years

      He liked a tweet saying Martinez out last week

  13. Mistletoe

  14. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    should have got Ayew

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Nah. They were in terrible form before this match.

      Watch them get creamed by the Hammers and City...

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Oh maybe it was Ojo my bad

        1. Give The Todd Some Love
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Currently Kolo is their best CB

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

  21. Obi Wan Elokobi

    Would you prefer A or B?

    A). Hazard and Cathcart

    Or

    B). Fabregas and Baines.

    1. Henryyy

        Just to clarify, you are being sarcastic. Gonna buggumark it for his hattrick next week.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Half serious. Could easily get two sets of double figures 🙂

          Everton and Chelsea take lots of long shots, good for keeper returns.
