Liverpool vs Norwich City Match Preview

Match No 1 of the 380 that comprise the 2019-20 Premier League season takes place at Anfield as European kings Liverpool host a Norwich City side that captured the Championship title last season.

Only one point and goal difference stopped Liverpool from ending their wait since 1990 for an English league crown to add to their Champions League triumph, and hopes will be high in the red part of Merseyside that, at long last, this is finally their year to break the hoodoo.

It has not been a fantastic pre-season for Jurgen Klopp’s side as they have won only three of their eight warm-up matches, losing the FA Community Shield on penalties against Manchester City last weekend after a 1-1 draw.

But with the competitive juices properly flowing again, things are expected to be different and Klopp’s squad should be complete again with the return of Sadio Mane after international duty and holiday, although the Senegal forward may not be quite ready to start this game.

Norwich also had mixed pre-season results and their success last term was based upon being greater than the sum of their parts, for they are not a team of established stars albeit Finland striker Teemu Pukki was a revelation in his first campaign at the club as he bagged 30 goals.

Although Liverpool’s last few opening-day fixtures have yielded lots of goals, this one may have more of a routine nature to it before they properly get up to speed and the chirpy Canaries may be able to avoid too heavy a beating on this return to top-flight action.
