TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26TH

Boxing Day football is here in all its stuffed and hungover post-Christmas glory. Liverpool couldn’t ask for a better opponent to come to Anfield, as they face off against last-place Swansea City. The Swans desperately need a win to play their way back into touching distance of the teams outside of the drop zone. Liverpool, on the other hand, desperately need a win to maintain their spot in the Top 4. The second half of the season appears to be shaping up to be a three-team scrap for that last Champions League qualification spot. Liverpool would do well to start the run-in with a win.
