Norwich team news
There is a chance that Bali Mumba could return for the Canaries after recovering from a dislocated knee, while Jacob Sorensen could also return to the squad.
Christoph Zimmerman, Sam Byram and Przemyslaw Placheta remain out.
Liverpool team news
Trent Alexander-Arnold will sit this one out because of illness, although chances are he would have been rested anyway because Liverpool are expected to heavily rotate – even Jurgen Klopp didn’t face the press ahead of the game, sending assistant Pep Lijnders instead.
Roberto Firmino, Thiago Alcantara, Harvey Elliott and Neco Williams miss out through injury, but there could be starts for the likes of Curtis Jones, Nat Phillips and Caoimhin Kelleher.

Norwich vs Liverpool head-to-head record
Norwich and Liverpool have met at Carrow Road already this season, with the latter taking all three points with a 3-0 Premier League win last month.
It was 1990 the last time these clubs met in anything other than a top flight league match. Norwich haven’t beaten Liverpool at all in 15 attempts since April 1994 when Jeremy Goss scored the only goal in a 1-0 win at Anfield in the Premier League.
Norwich vs Liverpool score prediction
Even with rotations for both sides and potentially a couple of very inexperienced players in the Liverpool lineup, the visiting Reds should have too much for their Norfolk hosts.
The majority of Liverpool’s second string are international-calibre players and that is likely to be telling, although it is likely to be a closer game than the recent 3-0 meeting.
Prediction: Norwich 1-2 Liverpool
