You don't have to be an expert in body language to see it pains Jordan Henderson to say: "When I first came here, people probably would have enjoyed coming to Anfield."

The stats show why. Liverpool won six out of 19 games on home turf during the midfielder's maiden season on Merseyside. They scored 24 goals in total.

Contrast those figures with the sort of form witnessed in L4 this campaign, where the Reds have won 11 out of 13 and scored an impressive 38 goals to date.

"I think now, nobody wants to come to Anfield," insisted Henderson. "It's a fortress, really.

"We need to make sure that we keep that going for as long as we can because it's a big reason as to why we've been doing well this season. We need to keep our home form going and build on the away form as well.

"The games against Everton and Arsenal were fantastic wins. From start to finish, both games were amazing.

"We've got to take a lot of confidence from them, but we have to do it every week as well. It will be hard to, but we have to make sure we do it on a consistent basis.

"We're working so well as a team in those games. We can build on that and push really high up the league."

Liverpool host Swansea City at Anfield on Sunday, when they will look to rekindle the sort of form which saw them fire nine goals past a shell-shocked Everton and Arsenal in the space of 11 days in front of the Kop.

Henderson insists the focus will be the same as it ever was on home turf - with the instructions being for the Reds to press high up the pitch and stage their own onslaughts from advanced positions.

"The manager will give his pointers on how he wants us to go about the game," said the No.14.

"He'll do that during the week and get us motivated for the game. We're raring to go come game time. We just want to get out there and give 100 per cent.

"I'm sure it will be a very difficult game because they are a good side. They have some good players and they keep the ball very well. So we'll have to make sure that right from the start we get right at them and we press them as much as we can.

"We need to win the ball back high up the pitch. It will be very tough, but we'll look forward to it. If we go about it the right way, then I'm sure we'll not have a problem."
