Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp have something of a selection challenge ahead with three games to play in eight days – including a crunch clash with Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.
It’s safe to say that some changes will be made against Norwich City, though it remains a question of extent in terms of how far the German will rotate his squad.
Given Thomas Tuchel’s men will effectively be getting an extra day of rest with their Champions League tie with Lille taking place a day before the Reds’ meeting with Leeds United, the Merseysiders will need to find a way of ensuring fresh legs for the end of the month.

Ahead of Alisson Becker in goal, we’re expecting Virgil van Dijk to remain partnered with Ibrahima Konate after a stellar display in Europe.

If go three goals clear get those needing a rest off the pitch. Sadly with the Premier League being the only competition in the world allowing just three subs, we cannot make wholesale changes. The performances here will determine the Leeds line-up, but should include Matip, Hendo, Thiago and Elliott.
