The Swans have won only once in 10 league matches and dropped to 15th in the table after Sunday’s 1-0 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield. Leicester; no chance, Arsenal; zero chance, Tottenham; no chance – that leaves the two Manchester clubs.

Monk is a bit like his team at the moment – he can’t win – whatever he says.
“Anything is possible right now”. “Hopefully we will climb even higher”.
There does appear to be a growing momentum under Klopp but he can not see it himself yet.
Speaking to reporters at his pre-match press conference, as reported by the Liverpool Echo, the Reds boss said: “I’m absolutely satisfied with goalkeeper situation, sorry to kill your stories about German goalkeepers, Stoke or wherever”.
“It’s a great game to play tomorrow in a sold-out stadium and we’re playing against one of the biggest clubs in the world”, he said.
“I have a good relationship with Borussia Dortmund and a good relationship with all the players there – there is nothing negative between us”. Maybe he had some difficulties in the beginning and of course Jose was in front and Virgil (van Dijk) in front in both positions Steven can play.
There was more good news from Klopp with playmaker Coutinho in contention for the trip to the south coast.
“First, about the competition we like to reach the semi-final, and, second, after the two defeats the best way to get back full of confidence is winning”. Alberto Moreno had, I think, 20 knocks everywhere on his body and was limping from the pitch to the dressing room.
“The two games against [Manchester] City and Chelsea are not to be compared, and because of the opponent and the way they play we can not always play like this”.
“Anyone who suggests that would be very stupid”, he said.
It might not have been the most fashionable win, but a James Milner penalty was enough to see Liverpool past Swansea City at Anfield yesterday in a result that did the Reds a world of good. “We will take it game by game and try to do it again on Wednesday”.

Steven Gerrard still remains the best in doing that but with the Milner in the team now, Liverpool have another world class penalty taker.
