  • 17'
    Contentious! Wijnaldum appears to be fouled at one end before Swansea break.

    So, Virgil van Dijk is in for his first league start since his move from Southampton and he couldn't have asked for a better first game than goal-shy Swansea.

    Jurgen Klopp discusses his team selection for tonight: “I didn’t think too much about a single player – I thought about the team’s performance. It’s very important that we all show the perfect attitude tonight. Life can be quite a challenge; our last game was against the top of the table and now it’s against the bottom of the table. We had a really good training week and the pitch here looks quite OK. A lot of things are different tonight. It’s all about the right attitude.
