Norwich and Liverpool line-up prediction: Team news ahead of tonight’s Premier League match

[ad_1]

Jurgen Klopp is confident his Liverpool side have what it takes to challenge Manchester City and Chelsea for the Premier League title this season, as they open their Norwich City campaign tonight.

Klopp has been forced to defend his club’s transfer policy after City, Chelsea and Manchester United have all spent more than £75m strengthening their squads ahead of the new season, while Ibrahim Konate’s £36m arrival is the Reds’ only summer addition so far. .

“Chelsea does not hide its ambitions, Man United is not, City is not. We do not want to hide our ambitions because we want to fight for everything and at this moment it will be a huge battle,” Klopp said. “We have a really good team together, it should be a better situation than last year, so let’s try to build on what we achieved last year and see where we end up.”

Norwich aim to do a better account of themselves this season after they finished 20th in 2019/20, winning by just 21 points. Daniel Farke’s side opened their campaign that year in Liverpool, with the Reds winning 4-1 at Anfield in a reversal of tonight’s game.

What is the team news?

Liverpool will be without Andy Roberson and Curtis Jones for their Premier League opener, but Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Thiago Alcantara and Jordan Henderson could play a role after their late return to pre-season.

Robertson is unavailable after injuring his ankle in a friendly against Atletico Bilbao last weekend while Jones sustained a head injury in the match against Osasuna on Monday and is lined up on the side due to concussion protocols. Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez compete for competitive returns.

Todd Cantwell is in doubt for Norwich after suffering an ankle injury and the Canaries could be without midfielder Przemyslav Blašeta.

Expected lineups

Norwich: Kroll. Aarons, Hanley; Gibson, Giannis; Robb, Gilmore; Les Milo, Doyle (Cantwell), Rashica; Bucky,

Liverpool: Alisson. Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dyck, Tsimikas; Fabinho, Thiago; Guetta, Firmino, Mane; Salah

Prospect

Norwich: 8/1

prediction

Mohamed Salah will be eager to start his Premier League season, and the Liverpool striker, who scored against newly promoted Norwich, is hard to get past. Sadio Mane will also be looking to get off the ground quickly and put last season’s tough campaign behind him after his summer vacation. Simply put, the Reds should have plenty of firepower for Norwich when they return to the top flight. Norwich 1-3 Liverpool
