Liverpool kick off Jurgen Klopp’s farewell tour against Norwich City today. The German has been adamant that he does not want the rest of the season to revolve around him, but there is no doubt that it will happen. Klopp has up to 15 home games at Anfield and today is the first game.
Liverpool will hope to secure another game with a win, with a draw in the fifth round before kick-off to decide who they face if they beat Norwich. Andy Robertson, Dominic Szoboslai and Trent Alexander-Arnold could return from injury, but it remains to be seen how strong Klopp will be from a squad perspective. There are league games against Chelsea and Arsenal scheduled for next week and it would be a huge boost if these three players were present.
My starting XI: Alisson; Bradley, Konaté, Quansah, Gomez; Elliott, Mac Allister, Jones; Gordon, Jota, Gakpo
Predicted scoreline: 2-0 to Liverpool.
One thing to watch:We’re all only here for one thing, aren’t we? The reception Jürgen Klopp gets will be special.
