Liverpool continues to fight for a top 7 spot as it takes on 15th placed Swansea at the Liberty Stadium live at 7 a.m. ET on NBCSN or live online via NBC Sports Live Extra.
The Reds need a result to ensure themselves a place in European play next year. They’re still in the competition and could make the Champions League by winning the competition, but down 1-0 to Villareal after the first leg of the semifinals midweek, that is by no means a sure thing.

Despite that, Jurgen Klopp has rested a number of regulars, including goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, replaced by Danny Ward in the youngest-ever starting lineup for Liverpool in the Premier League. One man not rested is Daniel Sturridge starts up front for the Reds.
For Swansea, who sits eight points above the drop on the magic 40-point mark, Andre Ayew starts at the head of the attack, supported by Jefferson Montero, who’s beginning to receive more time after spending all of January and February stuck to the bench.
