Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers is looking forward to their clash with Liverpool.

Rodgers says he was 'honoured' by the congratulations Swansea received from Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish after their Premier League promotion.

"I was very honoured to receive that from such a great man and a wonderful player," Rodgers said. "It was a fantastic gesture and we received a number of those. But this was the first to come through.

"It shows you why they are respected worldwide. It's those class moments and acts that go a long way.

"Kenny's come in and reignited the whole club and because of that association that he's had his impact has been fantastic.

"I liken the way the club is run and their supporters to our own.

"They're both sets of supporters who understand the traditions of their club [and] the good footballing principles."
