After their first full week without a match since mid-January, Liverpool take a 12-game unbeaten run in the Barclays Premier League to the Liberty Stadium on Monday night.

So far in 2015 Brendan Rodgers’ men have won more points than any other team in the top flight but Swansea will prove a tough test for the Reds, having already beaten the likes of Southampton and Manchester United in recent weeks.

Garry Monk will have a full-strength squad to select from other than central defender Kyle Bartley who remains unavailable following surgery to his knee.

Bafetimbi Gomis is expected to return to the Swansea starting line-up after fainting during the Swans match against Tottenham on March 4.

Liverpool could have skipper Steven Gerrard back in contention for the trip to Wales, after the veteran midfielder has missed the last seven games with a hamstring injury.

Defenders Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho are also expected to be fit for selection but Jordan Ibe (knee) and Lucas Leiva (thigh) are still sidelined.

The game on Monday sees former Swansea manager Rodgers return to the Liberty following his departure for Liverpool in 2012. Former red Jonjo Shelvey will hope to bag a goal against his old club after netting in the white of Swansea in the last three league matches between the sides, although the last of these was an own goal.

Probable line-ups:

Swansea City Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Cork, Ki, Shelvey, Routledge, Sigurdsson, Gomis.

Liverpool Mignolet, Toure, Skrtel, Can, Moreno, Markovic, Henderson, Coutinho, Lallana, Sterling, Sturridge.
