The Merseyside outfit will go top of the Premier League if they avoid defeat, while Swansea City are currently in the last relegation place, but can move up to mid-table with victory against the Reds.
Many feel Swansea City’s firepower will see them emerge victorious against their league compatriots tonight, as Michael Laudrup has a fully-fit Migeul Michu and Wilfried Bony to play together up front.
The striking pair have yet to shine in the Premier League, but it could well change against Liverpool.
Michu and Bony have scored six goals between them already in the Europa League, while both shining during pre-season for the Swans. They’ve shown glimpses of a partnership forming in games, and Laudrup will be hoping they can prove their worth against a stubborn Liverpool team.
Swansea City: Vorm; Rangel, Williams, Chico, Davies; Routledge, Shelvey, Canas, Hernandez; Michu; Bony
Liverpool: Mignolet; Wisdom, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique; Gerrard, Lucas; Henderson, Coutinho, Aspas; Sturridge
Despite the Reds boasting three clean sheets in three games, they have failed to beat Swansea on their travels since City’s promotion to the Premier League in 2011 – drawing twice at the Liberty Stadium.
Successive 1-0 victories over Stoke, Aston Villa and Manchester United - secured thanks to Daniel Sturridge's goals and Simon Mignolet's excellence - have raised expectations on Merseyside and another three-point haul will return the Anfield outfit to the top of the table.
Swansea City vs Liverpool
September 16, 2013 7:00pm
Rodgers experienced mixed fortunes against his former club last term, suffering a 3-1 defeat in the Capital One Cup, drawing 0-0 at the Liberty Stadium and then enjoying a 5-0 Anfield romp in February when the Swans had one eye on Wembley.
Michael Laudrup's men faced a tough opening to the new term, with clashes against Manchester United and Tottenham leaving them with nothing to show, before they claimed their first points of the new season with a 2-0 success at West Brom prior to the international break.
The Swans have struggled in front of their own fans in recent times, with just two points to show from their last six games at the Liberty Stadium, with their season fizzling out last term following their Capital One Cup triumph.
Monday's game will be a personal landmark for Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard as he leads the club out for the 400th time in his professional career, with the Anfield outfit also one win away from their 400th Premier League success.
