Liverpool will be looking to maintain their good record over Norwich when they take on the Canaries in the opening fixture of the 2019/20 Premier League season.
Norwich clinched promotion and the Championship title in style as they dominated proceedings in the second tier.
However, the big question is whether they can go toe to toe with the big boys. The last time these two sides met, Adam Lallana scored a 92ndminute winner as the Reds won 5-4 in January 2016.
Liverpool are now on a run of 12 games without defeat when it comes to their encounters against Norwich. What’s more, they have managed to win ten and draw two of those games.
During this time, the team from Merseyside has scored 39 goals and conceded just 13 – the Canaries have officially conceded more goals in the Premier League against Liverpool than any other team.
Interestingly, the last time Liverpool kicked off a season with a home game against Norwich, they went on to lift the title. Albeit, this took place in 1977.
Nevertheless, on paper the Reds should be keeping all three points at Anfield and winning by a comfortable margin in this opening game.
The European Champions however, don’t offer much value with the bookmakers. With that in mind, the recommendation is to back the visitors.
Putting the head to head record aside, Norwich will be keen to show that they’re no pushovers in this division. They won the Championship in style and a double chance bet on Norwich is certainly not a shot in the dark.
