I'll say it again - this NBC coverage is spectacular. We've had half an hour build up with teams coming off the coaches, studio chatter with Rebecca Lowe and the Two Robbies and now it's over to the commentary crew of Graeme LeSaux with the team news. Marvelous!
Here's the team news for this evening's match:
Swansea: Vorm; Rangel, Flores, Williams, Davies; Britton, Shelvey; Michu, Dyer, Routledge; Bony.
Subs: Tremmel, Amat, Tiendalli, de Guzman, Canas, Pozuelo, Vazquez.
Liverpool: Mignolet; Wisdom, Skrtel, Sakho, Enrique; Lucas, Gerrard; Henderson, Coutinho, Moses; Sturridge.
Subs: Jones, Toure, Alberto, Aspas, Sterling, Ibe, Kelly.
Brendan Rogers enjoying the hospitality of the Liberty now as his side get ready to kick us off. We're underway!
Nice to see that there is no reason for any change from the home strips for either side - it's white on white v. red on red.
GOAL! My oh my - it's Jonjo Shelvy scoring against his old club in the second minute!
1-0 Swans!
It was the old three bites of the cherry for Shelvy there, as he went for a spectacular volley first time after a poor headed clearance by Jordan Henderson. Fluffed that but went on and was blocked by Worm. Third time was a charm with a right footed shot curled into the corner.
GOAL! It's 1-1 and it's that man Sturridge again with his fourth goal of the season!
Shelvy went from hero to zero in 90 seconds, with a desperate backpass straight to Sturridge who slotted home easily past Worm.
After that furious start, this match has calmed down a bit.
Liverpool with the majority of the possession at this point.
Sturridge has made a bit of Liverpool history tonight - the first Red to score in the first four matches of a season.
Shelvy has some time for another curler - but gets it all wrong.
Bit of argybargy now between Williams and Gerrard.
Oh - Henderson had a chance but fired it straight into Davies. Poor effort.
Swansea having trouble clearing their lines now.
Oh - Sturridge was nearly in for his second. Great little wriggle by Moses and chip toward Sturridge. Point blank header saved by Worm!
Oh - Bony had a decent chance but the ball got caught under his feet.
GOAL! Victor Moses adds a second goal for Liverpool!
Again - it's a bad error from young Shelvy who tries a Cadillac pass to Michu and only ends up giving it straight to Moses who ran through and scored into the bottom right corner.
1-2 Pool!
Oh - Michu with nearly an immediate response. Good save, Mignolet!
Oh - great defending by Skrtel as Bony rounded Mignolet and tried to slide it in. Great stuff!
Skrtel really felt that and is taking plenty of time to get up. Gatorade break. What ever happened to Lucozade?
That's half-time, then. Liverpool 1-2 to the good. Strange old game. It's been uneventful for the most part but for about five minutes of furious action at the beginning and another five minutes around the half hour mark.
We're back on at the Liberty Stadium.
Ashley Williams picks up a well-deserved yellow after unceremoniously hacking down Coutinho.
Oh - how did that not go in? Great free kick to Henderson by Gerard. Henderson squared it on the volley and WIsdom should have scored. Good save by Worm.
A scuffle now between Shelvy and Lucas now. What on earth!
Yellow cards all round for the two. And a bollocking.
A flurry of cards continues - Henderson now.
GOAL! Michu with his first goal of the season!
As Pool sat back, the Swans played through them. Lovely back header from Shelvy to Michu to set him up. I think you just have to keep the kid out of his own half.
Another yellow now for Norman Wisdom.
Kolo Toure about to check in - that's really negative from Brendan Rogers. Why not go out and try and win this one?
Free kick chance now for the Swans. Shelvy (of course!) and DeGuzman over it.
Shelvy fires toward goal but straight at Mignolet.
Still 15 minutes left for another goal or two.
Now Rogers seems to want to get that win - Sterling on for Moses.
Another cheap free kick won by Swansea.
Oh - great shot by DeGuzman, well saved Mignolet!
Liverpool are settling for the point now, but the Swans want more. The crowd are urging them on.
Oh - Aspas had a last minute chance there but a terrific challenge went in from Williams.
And that's it - 2-2 at the end. Liverpool stay on top despite losing their perfect record. Swansea get out of the drop zone.
