Swansea To Be Tested By Reds



The Swans remain rock-bottom of the Premier League standings while the Reds are unbeaten in their last 10 league matches, with 41 goals scored compared to Swansea’s 11.


"They are a team that are in a rich vein of form," Britton said. "You look at their front players and the amount of goals they score, it is right up there with the best forward lines in the Premier League.

"It is very tough when you go up to Anfield, I've experienced it as a player. It is a tough place to go - the way they play their football, the way they press, the high intensity that they work at.

"It will be a very difficult test for us going up there but the players have got to relish that and look forward to it. It is a test and as a player you want to be tested."

The Swans claimed a 3-2 win on their last visit to Anfield, a result that boosted their subsequent league form, and that is exactly what Britton hopes to repeat.

"It was a huge turning point," he added. "When you go to one of the so-called bigger clubs and perform like that and get the result - especially in the position we were in, with the confidence low.

"All of a sudden you go to those places, whether it is Anfield, Manchester United, Manchester City, and win. Straight away the confidence is up. It had a big effect. It really kick-started our season."
