Norwich is possibly the most/only lovable team in the relegation scramble. They were bottom of the table for a large part of the season and they are still odd-on favorite to go down. But they are giving a proper fight.
Klopp will continue to rotate the starting XI and there would 3-4 changes from that against Inter. Jota and Elliott are perhaps the obvious ones.
This being the fourth game in 9 days and the game against Leeds and the cup final next week, the main theme of the starting lineup will be rotation. We surely can afford it without having a strong impact on the result due to our squad depth. I think we will see at least 6 changes on Saturday compared to the San Siro lineup.
The full-backs looked quite tired to me at San Siro yesterday, so at least one of them is due a breather, if not both (replaced by Tsimikas and Gomez). Mind you, Trent played full 4 games in 10 days already (including the Cardiff match). Same goes for VVD. Although the latter seems to be able to play just every game, he is nevertheless a human being and Klopp should be cautious with him.
In midfield, we can expect Jones to start instead of Thiago (who will be needed more next week). Is the Ox injury thing real or just a joke? If it is real, itâs a shame because he was probably destined to start this one.
After injury scare, Jota will not be risked. Klopp may even consider resting Mo or/and Mane (after their AFCON exploits and two successive starts). But I am 100% certain that a certain Luis Diaz will start. It is time to remind the Canaries what damage a South-American Luis in a red shirt can do to them.
I would go for
Alisson
Milly Matip Vvd Robbo
Elliott Hendo Keita
Mo Bobby Diaz
Subs
Trent, Kelleher, Kostas, Konate, Ox, Mane, Fab
Should be good enough.
Thatâs it - these slight winds will be gone by the morning. These types of winds are nothing new - news seems to hype up these storms a lot these days. Used to regularly have 80mph gales where I grew up in the N.East.
