Some rando from Burnley just buried a beautiful strike from great distance to put City down 1-0 at 14'.

Dude will never score a sweeter goal than that, even if he opens his eyes next time.

Liverpool to come out with their now familiar starting XI, except Wijnaldum is again in for Lallana. Sturridge ruled out due to a tight calf. Sunderland, unsurprisingly, seem to have a very defensive starting group behind Defoe.

This is a kind of early bellweather game for 'Pool. They need to find that attacking spark with one of the Big Four off the pitch, and they need to take care of business against a relegation-zone club. A win today along with a strong performance from Wijnaldum should give the side good momentum going into a string of games against the bottom half of the table.

They look so toothless with a single guy missing. Klopp needs to find the solution quickly or January will be flushed with Mane out.

Liverpool have had plenty of possession out wide, but all crosses are getting cleared pretty easily. The kind of game where a striker like Benteke would be useful.

Firmino shot, Pickford save, replays from two angles, back to live action with ball still in Pickford's hands. That's first-class time wasting.

It's taken Swansea only 7 minutes to blow a 2 goal lead at home to Palace.

And 2 minutes later, they are behind 3-4.

Ben Woodburn makes his debut for Liverpool wearing a linebacker number.

I'm pretty sure this is the first league game this season where Liverpool both scored and kept a clean sheet.

And a 5th for Swansea!
