    Liverpool 5-0 Swansea

    There was the chance for Dominic Solanke to grab his first Liverpool goal, but it is not happening.

    The former Chelsea man is picked out in the six yard box by James Milner, but the striker's shot is parried out by Lukasz Fabianski.

    Solanke then has another chance, meeting Philippe Coutinho's pass flush on the volley, but it arrows inches wide.

    KoloKK: The Swansea dream is over. They won't survive this one.

    Nearly hit for six.

    Liverpool getting in behind at will, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain with a drilled shot from 18 yards out, but it is blocked by Martin Olsson coming across.

    Five to go.

    That was coming for the last minute or two with Liverpool attacking left and right. It was still not an easy chance for Oxlade-Chamberlain and he just crashed it into the top corner.

    Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

    Liverpool

    The fab five.

    You can see why Swansea are bottom of the table, they are absolutely woeful at the back.

    Not one, not two, not three, but the visitors have FOUR chances to clear the ball inside their own box.

    They can't, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain nips in and caresses a finish into the far corner.

    Liverpool 4-0 Swansea

    A clean sheet and first Liverpool goal for Dominic Solanke would top this off nicely for the Reds.

    Has Klopp fallen out with Mane? Cos I’d play him every game and you could double that score! No brainer for me

    Liverpool playing this game out. Ref needs to call it already. Swansea don't want the ball.

    Shamoon, looks like a comfortable win for Liverpool now so do you want to head home early to catch Eastenders? We can chat amongst ourselves from here.

    Mark, Stockport

    Haha. If you don't hear from me for the final 10 minutes, you know where I am.

    Not Fer, not Fer at all.

    Dutchman Leroy off, Portuguese Renato Sanches on for Swansea.

    Adam Lallana still a bit rusty it seems.

    The Liverpool man with a brilliant Cruyff-turn to get away from Federico Fernandez, but then plants a cross into the Kop.

    To make this fairer Swansea should be awarded a goal each time they get out of their own half. They’ll still lose.

    'Bobby' Firmino is the undoubted unsung hero for Liverpool. Superb vision, cool head and totally selfless. Drop him at our peril!

    If Swansea are not careful with those two goals and Liverpool fancy it, it could be dangerous. Liverpool have known when to go for the jugular and killed the game off.
