Preview, Team News, Likely
Line-ups & Predicted Score

Anfield Kop
Brendan Rodgers faces his former side
Swansea City for the first time since
leaving the Welsh outfit for Liverpool, as
the two clubs face-off at Anfield in the
Capital One Cup.
Rodgers helped guide Swansea to
promotion from the Championship and
enjoyed an excellent debut season in the
Premier League before being lured to
Merseyside in the summer.
The Reds head into the game off the back of
a four-game unbeaten run, the latest being
Sunday’s controversial 2-2 draw with
Everton.
Swansea arrive at Anfield to face the
reigning cup champions sitting one place
above the hosts in the league table, and the
two sides will battle it out for a place in the
quarter finals.
Team News
Liverpool boss Rodgers is set to ring the
changes with several fringe players given a
chance to impress. Key players such as
Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Daniel Agger
and Martin Skrtel are set to be rested.
That gives the likes of Jamie Carragher,
Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson a
chance to stake a claim for first team
football, and they are expected to be joined
by youngsters Sebastian Coates, Samed Yesil
and summer signing Oussama Assiadi in the
starting line-up tonight.
Goalkeeper Pepe Reina is still recovering
from a hamstring strain so Brad Jones
continues in goal.
Swansea will be without keeper Michel
Vorm, who has been ruled out for up to
eight weeks with a groin injury, so Gerhard
Tremmel steps in.
Ashley Williams and Wayne Routledge are
doubts but are expected to shake off minor
knocks to start. Left-back Dwight Tiendalli
and club captain Garry Monk are likely to
play some part in the game.

Predicted Score
Despite making a number of changes,
Liverpool should still have enough quality to
dispose of the Swans tonight, but the
visitors will make a real game of it. Liverpool
2-1 Swansea.
