Liverpool face Norwich City on Saturday, and with all due respect to the Canaries, the Reds will have this earmarked as one of the easiest wins of the season.

Indeed, the Reds are pretty much unbeatable at home, while Norwich are staring the threat of relegation in the face.

Just four days on from the Anfield outfit’s Champions League win against Inter, Jurgen Klopp may look to rotate here, especially as the Reds have a game against Leeds in midweek.

With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Liverpool’s starting XI for this one.

We think that Jurgen Klopp will make four changes from the team that beat Inter here.

As mentioned earlier, the Reds have quite a congested fixture list at the moment, so some rotation is needed.

Alisson Becker remains in goal, but there is one change to the backline as Joel Matip comes in for Ibrahima Konate.

Harvey Elliott and Fabinho keep their places in midfield, but Thiago Alcantara is rested as Naby Keita comes in.

Diogo Jota’s injury keeps him out of this XI, while Luis Diaz comes in for Sadio Mane.

Mohamed Salah will be hoping to extend his lead at the top of the Premier League goalscoring charts against Norwich here.
