Striker Craig Bellamy believes that Liverpool must beat sides like Swansea City if they are to finish in the top four.

Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy has said that his side have to beat teams like Swansea City if they are to challenge for a top four finish.

The Reds host the Welsh side at Anfield on Saturday, and Bellamy says that they cannot afford a repeat of their 1-1 draw last month with another newly-promoted team, Norwich City.

"It is important to keep the unbeaten run going, but with no disrespect to Swansea, if we have ambitions of finishing in the top four then we have to win these type of games," he told the club's official website.

"We slipped up against Norwich, but on overall chances created and how we went about it, on any other given day we would have won quite comfortably.

"Credit to Norwich, they kept going because we didn't kill them off. If we can create the same number of chances against Swansea, then I feel we will win that game."

Bellamy has previously had a loan spell at Swansea's rivals Cardiff City.
