Team News

Norwich City
The irrepressible Pukki will lead the line as he aims to build on the 11 Premier League goals he struck in the 2019-20 season, but Cantwell must shake off an ankle ligament strain if he is to line up against the Reds.

Lukas Rupp is struggling with an issue in the same area and will need to be assessed, while the likes of Milot Rashica and Grant Hanley will certainly start if training goes well for the COVID-affected pair.

Josh Sargent has followed his former Werder Bremen teammate to Carrow Road but will not be ready for a starting role yet, and the same can be said for teenage winger Christos Tzolis, who arrived from Greek side PAOK on Thursday.

Liverpool
Meanwhile, Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson will be out for the next few weeks or so with ankle ligament damage sustained in pre-season, but Kostas Tsimikas has caught the eye with his displays over the summer.

Konate seems certain to earn a start while Matip, Van Dijk and Gomez continue to edge closer and closer to full fitness, but Klopp is optimistic that the latter two could be ready for starting roles at the weekend.

Concussion protocols will keep Curtis Jones out of the trip to Carrow Road, where Mohamed Salah will aim to become the first player in Premier League history to score on the opening day five years in a row.

Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Fabinho, Thiago, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Mane
Liverpool pre-season form: WLWWDW

Prediction: Norwich City 0-3 Liverpool
