Liverpool Team News

Liverpool will be without defensive midfielder Lucas Leiva for this encounter, so it will be interesting to see how Kenny Dalglish shakes it up, as the Brazilian has been an integral part to the Liverpool set-up in the season thus far. Apart from that, Liverpool have a clean bill of health for the encounter against Norwich.

Norwich City Team News

The Canaries are without long-term injury casualties James Vaughan (knee), Elliot Ward (hamstring) and former Liverpool youth team player Daniel Ayala (knee). Other players doubtful for the game at Merseyside include Steve Morison and Zak Whitbread.

Predicted Lineups

Liverpool: (4-4-1-1) Reina, Kelly, Carragher, Agger, Enrique, Henderson, Gerrard, Adam, Downing, Suarez, Carroll

Norwich City: (4-4-2) Ruddy, Naughton, Martin, Barnett, Tierney, Bennett, Hoolahan, Fox, Pilkington, Morison, Johnson

Man to Watch: Luis Suarez

Following a week in the headlines over the racism row with Patrice Evra, the Uruguayan will want to put that behind him for now with a goal or two against Norwich City. Breaking down the Norwich City defence won’t be an easy task though, with the Canaries giving Manchester United and Chelsea a hard time in recent weeks.
