Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will hope for a much more successful season in 2021/22 compared to the previous campaign as the Reds seek to reclaim the title taken off them by Manchester City in May.

The Anfield club signed defender Ibrahima Konate over the summer to help bolster their back line and may bring in some more additions to the squad before the transfer window closes.

Klopp will be desperate to avoid the injury crisis that consumed his squad last season and which kept the likes of Virgil van Dijk out for months. Unfortunately for the boss, Andrew Robertson strained his ankle ligaments in pre-season and will miss the Reds’ opening Premier League fixtures.

Norwich, meanwhile, are back in the top flight after a season battling it out in the Championship and manager Daniel Farke arguably has a stronger side at his disposal than two years ago.

The Canaries have already invested in the squad with Josh Sargent arriving from Werder Bremen for £8m, while Billy Gilmour has arrived on loan from Chelsea.

Our prediction: Norwich v Liverpool

With or without COVID, Norwich were always going to find this opening-day fixture against the former champions tough. And Liverpool are expected to control the game as they seek to set the pace in the new season.

Klopp’s forward arsenal is one of the best in the business and could well terrorise this Canaries backline, just as it did during the 2019/20 campaign.

Norwich will give this a good go with the likes of Teemu Pukki and Sargent on the field, but in all reality Liverpool should run out victors here.

Our prediction: Norwich 0-2 Liverpool (15/2 at bet365)
