The two teams have honour to open the new season in the English Premier League and we can say that Liverpool, being the vice-champion and Champion of Europe, has deserved the honour, while Norwich is returnee to the strongest league in England. Liverpool will play the European Super Cup next Wednesday and they have already played and lost the Community Shield to Manchester City. This will be the first competitive match for Norwich in the new season. After a great match Liverpool won Norwich in their last head-to-head played in 2016 by 5-4.

Liverpool

This is the beginning of season in which Liverpool wants to make one step further and finally reach the so much desired first place and win the title. They played excellently last season but it was good enough only for the vice-champion title, even though they lost only once. They also started the new season with a defeat and again they lost to Manchester City, this time in the Community Shield after penalty shootout. They were an equal rival in match that ended by 1-1. Liverpool didn’t new players this summer and will rely on tried and tested veterans. We need to add that Clyne is injured, while S. Mane is not yet in optimal form.

Probable lineups Liverpool: Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, J. Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson – Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson – M. Salah, R. Firmino, Origi

Norwich

Norwich returned to the elite football league in England after three years of absence but they did so by winning the first place in the Championship. It is known fact how much the league is challenging in which Norwich really dominated and spent larger part of the season in the first place. At the beginning of their Premier League journey they have a difficult away match, although the rest of their schedule in first couple of rounds is equally difficult. They played well several friendlies and won among others Schalke. Norwich also brought several reinforcements; Fahrmann should go at the goal, who arrived from Schalke, while Amadou and Drmic will likely stay on the bench. Zimmermann, Thompson and Tetey are injured.

Probable lineups Norwich: Fahrmann – Aarons, Godrfrey, T. Klose, Lewis – Vrancic, Trybull – Buendia, Stiepermann, O. Hernandez – Pukki

Verdict:

Liverpool’s team is practically the same with which they were fantastic last season and we expect to open the new season with a great show and sound victory at home. Liverpool has far better team than Norwich and new member of the Premier League has no chance at the Anfield.
