Mamadou Sakho
No team buys a 23-year-0ld defender for £18 million just to keep him on the bench, so expect the former PSG star to line-up alongside vice captain Daniel Agger when the Reds visit Swansea.
A strong aerial presence and a tough-as-nails defender, Sakho’s addition will only improve an already good defense, and with Skrtel as back-up, Brendan Rodgers finally has a good central defensive trio that can survive the hardships of a gruelling EPL campaign.

Sakho also has a personal reason to want to succeed at Anfield and seal a permanent first team place – he is fighting for a World Cup place, and that is surely the biggest motivating factor for a footballer. A clean sheet against Swansea would certainly help him in that regard.
