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.

Smash them. Theyâre shit.
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.
Unleash the Luis!
Norwich under Dean Smith are a different âbeastâ. Theyâve earned some vital points and playing much better since he came in.
Being trashed 4-0 by City is no indication that we will also have it that easy.
Expecting nothing but a win of course but it could take time until we break them down.
Iâm wondering if JĂźrgen would surprise everyone if he rests Alexander-Arnold, by playing Oxlade-Chamberlain at right backâŚ
Certainly keeps our letter count up anyway.
Kelleher
Trent Matip Joe Kostas
Elliott Thiago Milly
Mo Div Luchi
Subs: anyone who wonât get blown over by gale force winds.
If we are going be rotating at the back the last thing I would do is remove Becker
But loveable shit
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.
Rest Trent, Fab and Mane this round.
Think it will be
Alisson
TAA
Matip
VVD
Tsimikas
Elliott
Henderson
Keita
Diaz
Mo
Mane
Is this game even going to happen?
Why wouldnât it? Weather?
No strong wind here in LiverpoolâŚyet.
Weirdly calm. Anyway tomorrowâs forecast is not bad.
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.
YepâŚwhere is this stormâŚnot in south yorkshireâŚ
Itâs pretty bad in Blackpool right now. But, weâve seen worse (so far).
But I think weâve recently struggled to break teams down three times (Burnley, Leicester and Burnley) when we had bad conditions.
The conditions for tomorrow might be worse than it was in those three games.
