Team news & rosters

Position Norwich roster
Goalkeepers Krul, Gunn, McGovern
Defenders Aarons, Byram, Gibson, Hanley, Zimmermann, Mumba, Omobamidele
Midfielders Rupp, Gilmour, Dowell, Placheta, Cantwell, Rashica, Sorensen, Lees-Melou, McLean, Hernandez
Forwards Hugill, Pukki, Sargent, Idah

Todd Cantwell and Lukas Rupp both have foot injuries which could keep them out of Norwich's opening game of the season.

New signings Christos Tzolis and Josh Sargent are not expected to start, having only joined the Canaries in the past week.

However, Milot Rashica could be handed a place in the starting XI after moving from Werder Bremen this summer.

Predicted Norwich starting XI:  Krul; Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Giannoulis; Rupp, Gilmour, Lees-Melou; Rashica, Pukki, Cantwell.

  Liverpool roster
Goalkeepers Alisson, Adrian, Karius, Kelleher
Defenders Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez, Tsimikas, Robertson, Davies, Matip, R. Williams, Phillips, Alexander-Arnold, N. Williams
Midfielders Fabinho, Thiago, Milner, Keita, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Shaqiri, Ojo, Woodburn
Forwards Firmino, Mane, Salah, Diogo Jota, Origi, Elliott

Kostas Tsimikas is likely to start after impressing in pre-season, slotting in at left-back instead of the injured Andy Robertson.

Joe Gomez has just returned from injury and may not be risked alongside Virgil van Dijk in defence, while Curtis Jones has been ruled out with a head injury.

Jurgen Klopp will have a difficult decision up front, deciding whether to start Roberto Firmino or Diogo Jota.

Predicted Liverpool starting XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Fabinho, Keita, Milner; Salah, Jota, Mane.
