Liverpool vs Norwich Prediction & Betting Tips (28 January)

Despite a difficult start to this FA Cup, Liverpool managed to win at Arsenal 2-0, thus eliminating a credible candidate for the title. Back at a very good level this season, the Mersey club is leading the Premier League with one more game and 5 points ahead of its runner-up. In resplendent form, the Reds have not conceded a single setback in the last 14 days, 9 wins and 5 draws. They also remain on 3 successes obtained against Burnley 0-2, Newcastle 4-2 and Bournemouth last weekend 0-4. This week, Jürgen Klopp's men drew at Fulham 1-1. Enough to qualify for the League Cup final, winning 1-0 in the first leg. Leader of its Europa League group, Liverpool is qualified for the round of 16.

This week, Jürgen Klopp announced his departure at the end of the season. There is no doubt that a great atmosphere will reign at Anfield this Sunday. In the previous round, Norwich were first held to a draw at home 1-1 before winning a hard-fought replay at Bristol Rovers 1- 3. Relegated from the Premier League in 2022, the Canaries are aiming to move up to the Championship this season. They are currently 8th and concede 2 units of expenditure on 6th place, the last qualifying seat for the accession play-offs. After going 3 games without winning, 1 draw and 2 defeats, Norwich resumed their march forward by dominating Hull 1-2 and West Bromwich last weekend 2-0.

For Liverpool, the starting full-backs Alexander-Arnold and Robertson, the important midfielder Szoboszlai, the replacement Tsimikas and the long-term absentees Matip, Thiago Alcantara and Bajcetic have still not recovered from their physical problems. In addition, the stainless Salah (14 goals and 8 assists in PL) is playing in the CAN while midfielder Endo is involved in the Asian Cup. Both authors of a double last weekend, attackers Nunez (7 goals and 6 assists in PL) and Diogo Jota (7 goals and 2 assists in PL) are available. This is also the case for other offensive players Luis Diaz (3 goals in PL) and Gakpo (3 goals and 2 assists in PL). Norwich's defensive sector is weakened by the loss of long-term missing captain Hanley and replacement Batth.

Otherwise, the coach can count on most of his strength for this gala display at Anfield. We are thinking first of all of the very promising winger Rowe (20 years old) who is the club's top scorer in the league with 12 goals. To occupy the forefront of the attack, Sargent (5 goals in 8 Championship matches) and Idah (6 goals in the Championship) are in the balance.
