Norwich City vs Liverpool Preview. Liverpool will face Norwich in the 2021/22 Premier League opener which will take place at Carrow Road, Saturday (14/08/2021) at 10:00 p.m. Indian time.
Last season, Liverpool had to struggle to finish fourth in the standings. The Reds had to wait until the last week to be sure to finish in the Champions League zone.
Ahead of this match, Liverpool is in good form. Last Tuesday, Liverpool managed to get a convincing victory over Osasuna with a score of 3-1 in the friendly match through a Jesus Areso own goal and a Roberto Firmino brace. The victory made Liverpool only swallow 1 defeat in 4 pre-season matches this year (W2 D1 L1).
Meanwhile, Norwich is a promoted team in the Premier League this season. Last season, Norwich won the Championship with a collection of 97 points from 46 matches played.
Norwich themselves in their last match lost to Newcastle United with a score of 0-3 in a test match last weekend. The defeat was their only defeat in their 5 pre-season games this year (W4 D0 L1).
Liverpool and Norwich last met in the 26th match week of the 2019/20 Premier League season which took place at Carrow Road. In that match, Liverpool was able to beat Norwich with a narrow score of 1-0 through Sadio Mane's goal.
This match was the 52nd meeting between the two teams. Liverpool is far superior with 29 wins, while Norwich only won 10. Meanwhile, the other 13 matches ended in a draw.
Liverpool has recorded no defeat even in their last 14 matches against Norwich (W12 D2 L0).
On paper, Liverpool is of course much more favored over Norwich in this match.
However, Liverpool still has to be vigilant considering Norwich is quite strong when playing at home.
