Norwich team news
Last time they came up, Norwich went straight back down. This time, they’ll try to avoid that fate with the help of Ben Gibson from Burnley, Angus Gunn from Southampton, Pierre Lees Melou from Nice and Milot Rashica and Josh Sargent from Weder Bremen.
A COVID-19 outbreak disrupted Norwich’s preparation for the season and could continue to cause problems.
Rashica, Grant Hanley and Jordan Hugill are questionable with COVID-19. Todd Cantwell and Lukas Rapp are in doubt with injuries. Sam Byram is out with a thigh problem.
Liverpool team news
Some may write off Jurgen Klopp’s men after last season’s drop-off, but they’re out to prove the injury crisis had more to do with that fall than burnout.
While they lost Georginio Wijnaldum to PSG, they brought in Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig to shore up the defensive depth and locked in key players with new contracts.
Andrew Roberston suffered an injury blow in the preseason, creating a question at left back. Jordan Henderson and Curtis Jones are both questionable for the opener.
Norwich vs Liverpool predicted lineups
Norwich: Angus Gunn; Dimitris Giannoulis, Ben Gibson, Grant Hanley, Max Aarons; Pierre Lees-Melou, Kenny McLean, Billy Gilmour; Todd Cantwell, Teemu Pukki, Milot Rashica
Liverpool: Alisson Becker; Kostas Tsimikas, Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate, Trent Alexander-Arnold; Fabinho, Naby Keita, James Milner; Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota
Norwich vs Liverpool prediction
The Reds won’t have their full-strength squad until Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara get up to speed, but they still have more firepower than Norwich will be able to handle.
