Liverpool go into this fixture in great home form having won four of their last five home fixtures in the Premier League.

Norwich have the fourth worst away record so far this season, collecting eight points from a possible 33. Their single win on the road this season came in the form of a 4-3 victory over Swansea on the 8th December.

Luis Suarez is on course for a hat-trick of hat-tricks, as he has scored three goals in each of his last two appearances against the Canaries.

KICK-OFF: Saturday 3.00PM
