Who Will Kenny Play At Norwich?


Norwich City crest

Liverpool travel to Carrow road for the first time in seven years to face Paul Lambert's Norwich team in the Premier League since 1995.
Liverpool were 2-1 winners on that day, 3rd January and the two sides have only met once since then with the Canaries gaining a point at Anfield in a 1-1 draw back in October.

In total, the meetings between the two sides have produced 29 wins for Liverpool, 14 wins for Norwich City & 14 draws, down the years.

So, history and statistics would suggest that Liverpool are favourites to win the game, however, with the season Liverpool are having, anything could happen away to Paul Lambert's side.

They are just behind us in the League table and its another 'must-win' game for Kenny Dalglish's side ahead of the FA Cup Final on Saturday week, May 5.

It maybe that Dalglish will rest some key players ahead of the Wembley Final and that more of the squad-players will get a run-out at Carrow road this Saturday evening.

Expect Jamie Carragher, Johnjo Shelvey, Maxi Rodriguez, Craig Bellamy and Jonjo Flanagan to all start as Kenny looks to give the full squad a start.

Liverpool's season so far

About a month ago I commented on an RBB post about Liverpool and asked everyone to reserve judgement until after the Arsenal game on March the 3rd. Despite losing our first game at Anfield this season against the Gunners I figured it was due a revisit to the conversation.

Liverpool have won their first piece of silverware for 6 years (this is not going to turn into a debate on quality of silver, but a trophy is a trophy), they are in the last 8 of the FA Cup and are sitting in 7th in the Premier League. Considerable progress from when Dalglish took over about 14 months ago, but all Liverpool fans, the pundits and the football world in general won't call the season a true success unless there is a top 4 finish.

Is it possible? Yes.

Is it likely? No. Although a Europa League place finish is still a possibility, thanks mostly to AVB, but that is another story.

Back to Liverpool. What has gone wrong with a team who have out played many opponents and still come away with less than the 3 points. I think Liverpools' season was summed up yesterday, played well, created chances and lost. So what is happening at Anfield? A quick glance at the table tells us the story...
