The Reds will head into the weekend game on the back of a 2-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League. Liverpool will host Norwich City at Anfield in a matchday 26 Premier League fixture on Saturday.

What’s the latest team news at Liverpool?

Elsewhere, van Dijk will surely start if he’s indeed available considering how much Liverpool struggled defensively without him last season, conceding nine more goals than in the previous campaign, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is undisputed as the first-choice right-back and Alisson is guaranteed to feature as the reigning No.1.

In midfield, with Henderson and Thiago not quite up to speed, Naby Keita and Fabinho have been tipped to start instead.

In the attacking department, Mo Salah will be looking to start with Sadio Mane on the other flank and Bobby Firmino due to Diogo jota’s injury in their champions league clash with inter Milan.
