Swansea City v Liverpool (2000 GMT, Sky Sports Main Event)
It doesn't get any easier for Swansea in their quest to move off the bottom of the Premier League when Liverpool arrive at the Liberty Stadium on Monday night.
The Reds are rampant and spirits couldn't be any higher after Manchester City's unbeaten start to the domestic season ended with a 4-3 defeat at Anfield last weekend.
That was the seventh Liverpool game in a row that has contained more than 2.5 goals and four of those matches have seen four or more goals netted, including Boxing Day's crushing 5-0 victory against the Swans.
Former Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal was appointed Swansea manager after that defeat and he has made an immediate impact.
The Swans have won two, drawn two and lost just one of Carvalhal's five games in charge so far, including just five goals conceded in those contests compared to 12 from the opposition in the five matches prior to the Portuguese's arrival.
All highly commendable from the Swans but this is the toughest possible examination of their improved defensive performance.
The Reds are huge odds-on favourites for the three points and rightly so. There also isn't much value to be found in backing Jurgen Klopp's side to go for goals as the bookies are well aware of their capabilities.
I think Liverpool will ease to victory but it won't be quite as simple as less than a month ago at Anfield.
That 5-0 win over Swansea is included in a run of Liverpool scoring three or more goals in seven of their previous eight outings against sides sitting in the bottom half of the Premier League prior to this weekend's games.
There's 5/4 available for Liverpool to score three or more goals again in this contest but I'm going to have a nibble at a bigger price of 29/10 for over 2.5 goals to be netted in the second half.
That bet has been a winner in four of Liverpool's last six matches and the good news for Reds fans is top scorer Mohamed Salah is expected to feature after suffering with illness this week.
Salah, Roberto Firmino Sadio Mane and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are all in great form and Swansea's improved resilience won't be enough to stop another successful night's work for Klopp's array of stars.
Prediction: Swansea 1-3 Liverpool (Sky Bet's odds: 10/1)
