This weekend’s round of Premier League fixtures concludes at the Liberty Stadium as Swansea City face Liverpool.

The hosts, who currently sit in eighteenth place, picked up their first points of the season last time with victory at West Bromwich Albion, and another victory here would see them rise into the top half.

Neil Taylor is Michael Laudrup’s only injury worry after Jonjo Shelvey returned to fitness.

The former Reds midfielder, who withdrew from England U21 duty last week, is 6.5 (11/2) with Bet Victor to get on the score sheet, while Michu is 9.0 (8/1) with the same firm to get the first goal of the game.

Swansea, who have gone six home league games without a win, are generously priced at 3.6 (13/5) with William Hill while the visitors are favourites to give manager Brendan Rodgers victory on his old stomping ground, with a variety of firms offering a price of 2.25 (5/4). The draw is widely available at 3.5 (5/2).

Liverpool are looking to maintain their impressive start to the season, and will reclaim top spot with anything other than a defeat.

Barclays Premier League Player of the Month Daniel Sturridge, the match winner in the clubs last three games, should feature despite missing England’s two recent internationals against Moldova and Ukraine while new signings Victor Moses and Mamadou Sakho are in the squad.

Sturridge is favourite to open the scoring for a fourth successive league game at 7.0 (6/1) with Bet Victor ahead of 9.0 (8/1) shot Iago Aspas.

The Merseyside club ran out 5-0 winners the last time the two sides met, while last season’s corresponding fixture finished goalless.

Bet 365 offer 3.0 (2/1) for Simon Mignolet to keep yet another clean sheet, while Coral have odds of 3.9 (29/10) for the Reds to win without conceding.

Liverpool have be 1-0 at half time in their last four league games, and are 4.33 (10/3) with Coral to be so this time around, while William Hill offer 9.0 (8/1) for that to be the final score.
