Norwich – Liverpool
14.08.2021
Norwich face a tough first match back in the Premier League at home to Liverpool, a team they haven’t had any recent success against. The visitors arrive looking to get their season off to the perfect start but will be without Andrew Robertson at left-back and their captain, Jordan Henderson.
Sam Byram has been ruled out of this weekend’s season opener due to a thigh injury, while Todd Cantwell is rated at 50/50 to feature as things stand, due to an issue with his foot. Following a recent positive Covid-19 test, Rashica, Rupp, Hanley, Hernandez, Hugill, Mumba and Placheta have all been self-isolating and that could affect Norwich’s chances of featuring against Liverpool.
Liverpool enjoy playing against Norwich and have won five of the pair’s last six encounters in the Premier League. Both teams have scored in five of those six top-flight clashes, so there is a good chance that we won’t see any clean sheets on Saturday evening. Norwich lost their final pre-season game against Newcastle 3-0, while Liverpool won theirs against Osasuna 3-1.
Our prediction is for a Liverpool win and both teams to score a goal.
This match will be played on 14/08/2021 at 19:30.
