Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side are up against the league’s new boys Norwich City on the opening day of the 2021-22 Premier League calendar season which gets underway over the coming weekend.
The Merseysiders make the travels to Carrow Road to face the newly-promoted side in a game where Klopp’s men will be backed to secure all three points and a comprehensive win on rival turf.
Let us now take a look at how Jurgen Klopp might set his Liverpool side for the game against Norwich City –
4-3-3
Alisson Becker will be back manning the goalposts for Liverpool on the back of the Brazilian shot-stopper committing his long-term future on Merseyside by penning a new deal recently.
The backline should have the colossal figure of Virgil van Dijk back after the player’s injury layoff since October 2020 and the colossal Dutchman is tipped to be partnered by Joel Matip despite the arrival of a new signing this summer in Ibrahima Konate.
Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara should anchor the midfield for the Reds with Klopp no longer in a position to call upon Gini Wijnaldum who since his Liverpool exit has made the move to PSG.
It is expected to be a familiar-looking frontline for the visitors with Roberto Firmino backed to pip Diogo Jota to the central striking role for the opening day of the new campaign.
