Liverpool hosts Norwich on Saturday, with Jurgen Klopp’s side looking to keep their slim hopes of winning the Premier League title alive.
Going into this weekend’s fixtures, Liverpool are nine points adrift of leaders Manchester City, who have played one more game.
Norwich City, meanwhile, are battling to preserve their top-flight status. They are in 18th place and are four points away from safety. A reinforced Newcastle United side is directly above them, and they also have a game in hand on the Canaries.
The trip to face Liverpool will not be an easy one for Dean Smith’s men: In 10 matches against the top eight teams in the standings, they have lost nine, getting outscored 31-0. Six of Norwich’s remaining 13 matches will come against the top eight.
