PREVIEW

Caretaker boss Leon Britton insists history can repeat itself when Swansea return to Liverpool on Boxing Day.

Swansea were in relegation trouble last season when Paul Clement's side went to Anfield in January and won 3-2.

And Britton - who took charge of the 1-1 home draw against Crystal Palace on Saturday following the midweek sacking of Clement - believes bottom-placed Swansea can upset free-scoring Liverpool again.

"We know it's going to a very tough game with the players they've got," Britton said.

"Look at the amount of goals Liverpool score, it's right up there with one of the best frontlines in the Premier League.

"I've experienced it as a player how tough it is to go there - the way they play their football and press, it's high intensity football.

"But we went there in January and won in difficult circumstances when the team was low in confidence.

"So we go there knowing we can get a result."

Jurgen Klopp is happy with how his side are playing.

"I really think performance-wise we are in a really good way; that's what we need to keep," the German said.

"So even when it still feels completely, maximum average, unbelievable not to win at Arsenal, the performance was still good."
