Liverpool travel to Swansea City on Monday night looking for their fourth straight Premier League victory of the season and a fifth in all competitions.

The run of three league wins from three represents the Merseysiders best start to a season since 1994-95 and the league leaders are the only remaining top-flight team with a 100% record.

The Swans meanwhile are down in 16th on three points but did win 2-0 last time out against West Bromwich Albion after a difficult pair of opening fixtures against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Laudrup is widely expected to keep the same side which overcome West Brom, but pacy winger Nathan Dyer could be included if he overcomes a recent hamstring problem. The only certain absentee is full-back Neil Taylor who picked up a thigh injury playing in Europe at the end of last month. Elsewhere, ex-Liverpool midfielder Jonjo Shelvey, who swapped clubs in a £5million summer transfer, will be eager to impress against his old side.

Daniel Sturridge, who has scored in every game so far this season, looks likely to be passed fit despite missing England's World Cup Qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine with a thigh injury. Sadly the same cannot be said of Glen Johnson after the right-back, who also sat out the internationals, was diagnosed to have a high-ankle sprain which is expected to sideline him for around six weeks. His place is likely to be taken by England U21 captain Andre Wisdom although Martin Kelly is another feasible option. Rodgers has a selection headache at centre-back after Kolo Toure returned to training following a groin problem. New recruits Mamadou Sakho and Tiago Ilori are eligible for debuts and therefore further enhance the options in this area.
