Worth mentioning: Norwich are undefeated in two games coming into the clash with the European champions. The Canaries form have been improved of late with the team losing two of the last seven matches across all competitions. Three of their last five outings produced over 2,5 goals, as two saw both involved sides hitting the back of the nets.

Liverpool’s last match was the replay of their FA Cup replay clash with Shrewsbury, where the entire squad was only boys from the Red’s academy and they progressed to the next stage. Jurgen Klopp and his boys are still unbeaten in the league and are getting closer and closer to the Arsenal “Invincibles” team’s record of 49 undefeated league games. The European and World Champions are not scoring a lot lately, managing more than two just once in the last ten matches, but conceded just three and recorded eight clean sheets.
