2 goals in stoppage time as Liverpool beats Norwich 5-4
Since joining Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp has had a number of injuries to deal with, and the situation doesn’t seem to change.
Out: Joe Gomez, Danny Ings, Divock Origi (knee); Martin Skrtel, Jordan Rossiter, Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho (hamstring).

The Reds have a 30-11 advantage over Norwich City in all time matches between the two. We lost the last Premier League game. The Canaries are just two points above the relegation zone, and will be hoping to get few results in their way between now and May. “Timm is fine, fitness-wise, we just need to take into account he has never been involved in a Premier League game”. A home win for Norwich is offered at 10/3, while a draw between the two teams is 12/5.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Adam Lallana is an injury doubt ahead of today’s early kick-off at Norwich City.

Only Aston Villa (10.2%) have scored with a lower proportion of their shots in the Premier League this season than Liverpool (10.3%).

“Liverpool are more direct now than Brendan Rodgers’ team and they play higher up the pitch, but both teams pose you hard questions in different ways”.
“But it’s life and it’s not my situation or my thing to spend too much time thinking about”. The Norwich defender should close the gaps quickly, and keep him in check throughout the 90 minutes.
