Rodgers returns to Liberty Stadium, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 takes on Swansea City in a league match on Sunday.
The Merseyside club are currently riding on a seven-match unbeaten streak and will aim to record back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
The game will carry extra significance for the Anfield chief, Brendan Rodgers, who will be looking to gun down his former club. The Northern Irishman spent a two-year spell at the South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 club, helping them ascend to the English top division, before
parting ways with them this summer to take up the Liverpool throne.
Meanwhile, the hosts will be eager to replicate their Capital One Cup win over the Reds this season at Anfield, and will give it their best to spoil the emotional evening for Rodgers. The Swans will also be wary of their opponent’s over-reliance on Luis
Suarez upfront and will be backing themselves to grab a win against a team who are lower in the table than them.
Liverpool currently trail tenth-ranked Swansea by a single point.

The manager will stick with his trusted combination of Agger, Skrtel and Johnson in the backline, while Jose Enrique could be involved in a more attacking role.
Shelvey though, could get a nod ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528 Leiva is reported to have recovered from a thigh injury, the Brazilian could appear on the bench and may appear as a late substitute.

Prediction
Swansea City 2 : 3 Liverpool
The match promises to be a high scoring one, as both the sides are not renowned for their defences. Suarez could prove to be the match winner in a game which the writer feels will see the Reds come out on the top by the slightest of margins.
