James Milner swings in a corner from the right for Liverpool and it's catching practice for Lukasz Fabianski.

One minute added on.

"Is it psychological with Daniel Sturridge? From what I've heard Jurgen Klopp has a degree in sport science. What he is asking is: can you come through a little bit of pain? You don't have to be pain free. I never played pain free. That's the point Klopp's trying to make." 

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge gets a ripple of applause as he goes out to warm up. The Englishman acknowledges the support with a clap back to them.

Careful Daniel, don't want to do your hands any harm there. 👏 👏

Pass and move to the Swansea groove. The Welsh side have ridden that early storm and are looking to exert their own pressure. Boss Garry Monk will be happy they've managed to keep it goalless after half an hour.

Like his counterpart, Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet had his palms stung yet.
