Team News: Borja Baston makes first Premier League start for Swansea City against Liverpool

Borja makes first PL start for Swansea

Borja Baston will make his first Premier League start for Swansea City in this afternoon's match against Liverpool at the Liberty Stadium.

Both sides have made one change to their lineups as Borja leads the line in place of Fernando Llorente, who misses out today because of a minor rib injury.

Francesco Guidolin's job as Swansea manager remains under scrutiny as his team have not win since the opening weekend of the campaign.

They face a Liverpool side that have scored 16 league goals in six games, and manager Jurgen Klopp has made just one change to his team since their last outing as Dejan Lovren replaces Ragnar Klavan at the centre of defence.

Daniel Sturridge has to settle for a spot on the bench once again as Roberto Firmino is preferred up top, while Divock Origi is also among the substitutes after recovering from a foot problem.

Swansea City: Fabianski; Naughton, Amat, Van der Hoorn, Rangel; Britton, Cork, Fer; Sigurdsson, Routledge; Borja Subs: Nordfeldt, Mawson, Taylor, Fulton, Ki, Barrow, McBurnie

Liverpool: Karius; Clyne, Lovren, Matip, Milner; Henderson, Wijnaldum; Lallana, Mane, Coutinho; Firmino Subs: Mignolet, Sturridge, Klavan, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Origi
