Liverpool welcome relegation favourites Norwich City to Anfield on Saturday in the Premier League with Jurgen Klopp’s men looking to close the gap with Manchester City at the summit.
The Merseysiders turned out midweek at the San Siro in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg tie against Inter Milan with late goals from Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah securing a crucial win.
Back in league action, clinching the three points at stake would be of much importance to Jordan Henderson and Co. who have been upbeat in their recent showings on all fronts.
Norwich City, meanwhile, were handed a 4-0 rout by the runaway leaders Manchester City last time around and are in for another stern outing on their travels to Merseyside.

TEAM NEWS
The in-form Diogo Jota is sidelined for the forthcoming match with an ankle ligament injury he picked up in the midweek contest at San Siro.
Jota’s dropping out of the XI could open the door for January recruit Luis Diaz to join the three-man attacking lineup alongside Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.
Jordan Henderson and Joel Matip are expected to earn recalls to the starting team sheet after being benched for the Inter Milan clash.
MATCH PREDICTION
It is strongly tipped to be a routine win for the second-placed Liverpool against a struggling Norwich City outfit.
Liverpool 3-0 Norwich City
