New Swansea duo Olsson, Carroll eyeing Liverpool win

Swansea City signings Martin Olsson and Tom Carroll are immediately looking at a big win with their new club.

On Tuesday, the Swedish left-back and English midfielder completed permanent transfers to the Welsh club from Norwich City and Tottenham Hotspur respectively.

On Saturday, they may be in line for first-team action when Paul Clement's Swans take on third-placed Liverpool at Anfield.

"Liverpool would be a good place to make my debut," Olsson told swanseacity.net.

"They are a good team, but hopefully I will start the game and we will get the right result."

Carroll was in the stands to watch the Swans lose 4-0 to Arsenal on the weekend, but feels any sort of improvement can bring about a positive showing against the Reds.

"The scoreline last Saturday was a little unfair - we didn't deserve to lose like that, and the own goals are so cruel on us," he added.

"But we have a good squad here and the lads have got to be positive. We know we can get a result at Liverpool."
