These are the kind of games that maximum points are a must, Swansea at home should be a banker all day long,
We've seen in the past that dropping points to mid to lower placed sides have cost us titles, ie; 13/14 season V Villa & Hull spring to mind in particular (not Gerrards slip),
Obviously Lucas out is a blow, however Allen should have enough about him to cover adequately, to early to see Henderson,
I wouldn't change too much only tactics, so I'd go with this
Mignolet
Clyne Skrtel Lovren Moreno
Allen
Milner. Emre
Lallana
Firmino. Benteke
Bench ; Bogdan, Toure, Randall, Texiera, Ibe, Henderson, Divock
We need to find a solution to destroy teams at home, once we get that there will be no stopping us, I believe when Henderson is back
We will move up a gear, be more balanced, and have more options both offensively or defensively,
Away from home we have seen how we can dominate by pressing high and harassing players into mistakes, at home it's our onus to play forward and mostly have to break sides down, so midfield is the pivotal area we need to control,
A trio of Lucas, Henderson and Can are my preferred midfield with Milner a very capable back up, these 4 can be rotated depending if we're home or away, attacking or defending, with Lucas sat protecting, Hendo & Can can push forward or one can stay back with Lucas,
Until Jürgen brings in his preferred additions this I think will be a regular sight and not to shabby in my humble opinion,
Anyhoo, Can't see anything other than a convincing Reds mauling of that Swans,
3_0 at the very least,
