Pepe Reina will captain Liverpool today, in the absence of captain Steven Gerrard and vice-captain Jamie Carragher, who both miss the Swansea game today through injury.
Gerrard’s ankle infection means midfielder Jordan Henderson, who deputised in last week’s win at West Brom, keeps his place in the starting eleven.
Also Jamie Carragher has not recovered in time from his calf injury meaning Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel are at the heart of the defence.
Andy Carroll keeps his place upfront partnering Luis Suarez.
Liverpool are unbeaten in their past seven matches in any competition while after five away games, Swansea have just one point to their name on their travels but they head to Merseyside full of confidence after last Saturday’s convincing win over Bolton.
Liverpool’s Team : Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Agger, Skrtel, Lucas, Adam, Downing, Henderson, Carroll, Suarez
Subs : Doni, Spearing, Bellamy, Kuyt, Kelly, Coates, Maxi.
Meanwhile, Swansea City make 1 change from last week…
Swansea’s Team: Vorm, Rangel, Monk, Williams, Taylor, Gower, Britton, Allen, Routledge, Graham, Sinclair
