Liverpool narrowly beat League Two high-flyers Plymouth Argyle 1-0 at Home Park on Wednesday in their FA Cup third round replay.

Jurgen Klopp’s men were uninspiring in the first meeting between the two at Anfield back on January 9, which ended 0-0, but got an early goal in this one thanks to Lucas’ header from Philippe Coutinho’s corner.

And that proved to be enough for the Reds to book their place in the last 32, where they’ll host Championship side Wolves on January 28.

However, the manner of their performance must be of slight concern to Klopp ahead of their Premier League meeting with Swansea on Saturday (12.30pm kick-off), as that was their first win of 2017 at the fifth attempt.

Nonetheless, with many first team players rested, Liverpool should be fresh ahead of an important week, which also sees them try to overturn a 1-0 deficit against Southampton in the League Cup semi-final on Wednesday night.

Yet, with Swansea the next match, Klopp may look to make a few changes to his side that played against Plymouth, with some not doing enough to warrant a start in the Premier League this weekend.

Thus, here are THREE players that should be dropped for the visit of Swansea on Saturday…

Alberto Moreno

Alberto Moreno had a decent chance to put some pressure on James Milner in the battle for the left-back spot, especially with the amount of games coming up, yet he underperformed against Plymouth.

The Spanish international, who lost his place to former England midfielder Milner at the start of the campaign, didn’t defend well and looked shaky against the League Two high-flyers.

And, with tougher tests to come against Swansea through the likes of Nathan Dyer and Wayne Routledge, it’ll be a surprise to see him in the starting eleven at Anfield on Saturday.

Divock Origi

Belgian international striker Divock Origi has not scored for Liverpool since their 3-0 win over Middlesbrough back on December 14, and his measly penalty against Plymouth was indicative of a player short on confidence at present.

The 21-year-old last contributed to a Reds goal in their 4-1 win over Stoke on December 27, but since then has made six appearances for Klopp’s team, and not netted in any.

Origi was given the nod ahead of Daniel Sturridge against Manchester United last weekend in a clear show of faith from Klopp, yet you sense that with Philippe Coutinho returning and the good form of Adam Lallana, Origi could miss out against Swansea on Saturday.

Daniel Sturridge

Like Origi, Daniel Sturridge did not have a great game against Plymouth.

The England striker caused the Pilgrims defence a few issues but nothing really telling, and was replaced with 14 minutes to go by youngster Sheyi Ojo.

And, given he performed poorly when leading the line against Southampton in the League Cup last week, it’s unlikely that he’s done enough to force his way into Klopp’s Premier League eleven against Swansea.

Philippe Coutinho is slowly building up his fitness and could get the nod against the Swans and, with Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino both rested in midweek, you’d expect them to come back in.

Thus, there’ll be no place for Sturridge, which again casts doubts over his long-term future at Anfield.
