Swansea vs Liverpool confirmed team news: Van Dijk to make debut, Karius starts
VIRGIL VAN DIJK will make his Premier League debut for Liverpool after recovering from a knock.
Alejandro Moreno: Van Dijk doesn't solve Liverpool's issues
Liverpool's record signing comes into the side as the only change from the team which beat Manchester City last weekend.
Van Dijk replaces Dejan Lovren, who misses out with illness. Loris Karius continues in goal ahead of Simon Mignolet.
For Swansea, manager Carlos Carvalhal has made two changes from Swansea’s 1-1 draw at Newcastle.
Kyle Naughton comes in for Kyle Bartley in defence, in what looks like a back five.
The other change sees Leroy Fer replace Oliver McBurnie while Wilfried Bony is fit enough to start on the bench.
