Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony has spoken of being rejected by today's opponents Liverpool. The Reds turned down a young Bony when he arrived for an Anfield trial in 2007.

Bony told WalesOnline: "I scored there twice last season and it was nice because I had been on trial there when I was younger. I was there for two weeks in 2007 when Rafa Benitez was the manager.

"They wanted to see what sort of a player I was and it was amazing as a young guy to get the chance to use facilities like that and to see a stadium like that.

"I remember sitting up in the stand there watching a game and I enjoy the chance to go and play there because it was my first experience of English football.

"It was nice to score a couple of times there last season, it is always nice to score at places where you have been and you were not able to make it. It's not that you have a particular point to prove, you always have a point to prove in football, but it is nice.

"It was a fair time ago and I just have to focus on my game and do my best. I hope I can score and help Swansea win the game."
