So the exceptionally busy period begins and will we see mass rotation?

Henderson is definitely out. I think Mong will play as Klopp seems to throw them straight back in following a mistake. TAA coming in for Gomez will be an exception to this as he alternates the two. The rest of the defenders will remain the same.

Midfield two could be Milner and Winjaldum.

I also expect wholesale changes throughout the rest of the team. Maybe Lallana for Coutinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain for Salah, solanke for Firmino. As Manè hasn’t been involved as much I think he’ll play and hopefully get his head out of his arse.
 
Doesn't look like Swans will have a permanent manager in place by the time of the game; the latest rumours is that they offered the job to Roberto Martinez from next summer and will appoint a caretaker until than.
 
----------------Karius-----------------
Trent----Matip---Klavan--Robbo
-----------Gini-----Can--------------
Mane-------Lallana (c)---------Ox
---------------Solanke---------------

Subs: Ward, Lovren, Gomez, Milner, Coutinho, Salah, Ings

Could also be something like the Brighton game with 3 at the back:

3-4-3:
----------------Karius------------------
-----Gomez--Matip---Klavan------
Trent------Gini--Lallana----Robbo
---Mane-----Solanke----Oxlade---

Personally I like the 2nd option better. Can was amazing against Arsenal (my MOM along with Firmino), but I'm afraid against "lesser" opponents he will revert to the lethargic Emre, so I'd rather play an extra defender in his place.

Do you guys agree with what Klopp said regarding the issues we had at Arsenal ? - I cannot disagree with anything he said in response to the to repetitive questions about having to buy new players to fix the mistakes. Don't know what to think but it is incredibly frustrating.
 
Swansea casualty list : Kyle Naughton (groin injury), Wilfried Bony (hamstring), Ki Sung-yueng (calf) and Kyle Bartley (knee ligaments), while Leroy Fer (back) will be assessed on Christmas Day.
Provisional Swansea squad: Fabianski, Rangel, Fernandez, Mawson, Olsson, Mesa, Carroll, Clucas, Ayew, Narsingh, Abraham, Nordfeldt, Van der Hoorn, Fer, Sanches, Fulton, Dyer, Routledge, McBurnie.
 
Definitely going to be plenty of changes with games coming thick and fast now so the team will be freshened up for sure.

GK : Stick or twist ? Twist for me but who knows with Klopp.

FBs : Reckon AA will return to give Gomez a break. No other real option at LB so Robertson remains.

CBs : If Matip is going to be eased back in then surely there is no better game so a rest for either Lovren or Klavan and as I expect the partnership to be Matip & Lovren for Burnley and Leicester then Lovren gets the bench for this one.

MF : Hendo out and options severely limited. Maybe Milner and Wijnaldum to start.

Attack : Salah in need of a rest, he's played more than any in attack. Firmino's enhanced dynacell battery pack could do with recharging. Coutinho, Mane, Ox and Lallana to start ? Solanke an option.


.............................. Karius

AA ............ Matip ................ Klavan ......... Robertson

................. Milner .......... Wijnaldum

Ox ...................... Lallana .................... Coutinho

............................. Mane
 
This is fun to watch. Anyone that ever thought Bobby was a 'flabby melt' is just VERY wrong. He's been immense and it's only 13mins in! Brilliant player. Also I'm really loving Robertson.
