EPL: Reds eye Norwich’s scalp

Liverpool vs. Norwich City
Venue: Anfield Stadium
Kick off: 4pm

Liverpool play host to Norwich City on Sunday (today) as they look to record their first victory in all competitions since August 17, when they edged past Bournemouth.
Norwich travel to Merseyside having failed to overcome Liverpool in over two decades, but seven points from their first five Premier League fixtures represents their best start to a top-flight campaign since 1993.
Brendan Rodgers would have been delighted with a return of seven points from three Premier League games from his newly-assembled squad but over the past few weeks, a number of problems have been exposed at Anfield.
The Merseyside giants look as uncertain in defence as they did last year, while their failure to directly replace Raheem Sterling has seen them lack pace and directness in the final third.
Some of the arrivals will need time to settle, but so far, they are not performing like a team who have top-four aspirations.
The 3-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford drew criticism for their failure to create enough clear-cut chances.
Their tactics seem focused on trying to bring Christian Benteke into play, but aside from his wonder goal last week, he too does not appear entirely happy with his game.
They still sit in 10th place in the table, one position behind Sunday’s opponents, but after being humbled by West Ham United in front of their own fans last time out, they cannot afford another defeat this weekend.
After seeing his side thoroughly outplayed by Southampton before the international break, Norwich City boss, Alex Neil, may have feared that having two weeks to lick their wounds would not be overly beneficial to his side.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Mignolet; Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Gomez; Lucas, Can, Milner; Coutinho, Ings, Benteke.
Norwich City possible starting lineup: Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin, Bassong, Brady; Redmond, Howson, Tettey, Jarvis; Hoolahan; Jerome.
