Swansea City manager Carlos Carvalhal believes his side can spring a surprise against Liverpool on Monday.

The Portuguese insists Jurgen Klopp's outfit are more complete than just their acclaimed forwards, but he feels they can be beaten.

"It will be one of the more difficult games," he said. "But even if we have just 1% of chances in the game we have to try to win the points.

"We will be ready for them. It's not just their three attackers they have good midfielders, defence and a goalkeeper.

"We must block them - we know their main attributes. But even though they have a lot of strong points they have some weak points, very few, but we will try to explore them to the maximum.

"It's a kind of David versus Goliath but surprises can happen."

Asked about January signings he refused to discuss specific names but said: "We don't give up to bring in the best players with quality. We're still fighting for that.

"We need players that fill gaps in the team."

Carvalhal was also asked about speculation surrounding centre-back Alfie Mawson, who has been linked with a move from the Liberty stadium this month.

"We are trying to improve not to sell the best players," he said. "About him and others who play often - we are not selling players."
