Hi Steemians ,, the English league in a moment.
The consistency of Liverpool will be re-tested when visiting the headquarters of Swansea City in the Premier League match continued on Tuesday (23/1) early morning hrs.
The Reds gave the first defeat to Manchester City who stood atop the top of the standings on the previous matchday. Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino appear impressive as Anfield's army won 4-3 and Philippe Coutinho's departure to Barcelona seemed to have no effect.
As for not be complacent because the league is not over. They are required to keep records without defeat in the latest 18 matches in all competitions. Three points would certainly reinforce the position of the red army in the top three standings.
This is supported by the potential of Virgil van Dijk's comeback which last week had to be absent. The bristle of the back line may be slightly patched by its presence. Moreover, The Swans have an unfavorable record of productivity.
Substitution will also be seen under the crossbar. Simon Mignolet will fill the bench, while Loris Karius is believed to be No.1.
In terms of fitness, some players still have to be doubted. Mohamed Salah and Ragnar Klavan were absent due to illness, the condition of both still must be monitored before competing. Jordan Henderson has returned to training, but is doubtful to appear. The same thing happened to Alberto Moreno and Daniel Sturridge.
The opposite situation actually happened at Swansea. Carlos Carvalhal's side are still stranded at the bottom of the standings and so are strong candidates for relegation.
They are only able to score 14 goals in 23 recent matches and only won one time in seven games last Premier League. The 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup could be a trigger for the resurrection.
Positive trends can continue and tackle Liverpool will be a great leap psychologically. Kyle Naughton and Tammy Abraham potentially return to the main squad, this being a positive injection for The Swans.
