Team news

Liverpool
Forward Diogo Jota is out for Liverpool with an ankle injury and there could be some rotation with Kostas Tsimikas, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Luis Diaz among those hoping to start.

Norwich
Striker Adam Idah has been ruled out for the rest of the season with knee and ankle injuries, while Tim Krul, Lukas Rupp and Andrew Omobamidele are all still absent. Mathias Normann and Ozan Kabak are both fit enough to start if needed.

Match preview

Liverpool shouldn't have a problem securing another handsome win against Norwich at Anfield as they attempt to stay in the Premier League title race behind Manchester City.

Liverpool have not lost to the Canaries since 1994 and have scored three or more against them in comfortable wins in four of the last five meetings in all competitions. It would be no surprise to see something similar play out.

Liverpool are averaging just over 2.5 goals per game in the league this season and even though Diogo Jota is out they still have Mo Salah, Sadio Mane, Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino ready to torment the worst defence in the division.

The Reds won the corresponding fixture at Carrow Road 3-0 at the start of the season and Norwich were beaten 4-0 by Man City last weekend to underline the difference in quality between the teams at the top and bottom.

Key stat

Six of the last nine league meetings between these sides have contained at least four goals.
