Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson

Jurgen Klopp will almost certainly stick to his first-choice four-man defense for this weekend’s fixture. However, one change which could possibly be made would be if Joel Matip is given a start ahead of Gomez.

The Cameroonian defender was in fine form before he got injured and Klopp may want to give him some game time and a match against arguably the weakest opposition in the Premier League would be a suitable occasion.

But, with a crucial Champions League game coming up it’s likely that he will stick with Gomez in order to get him back in the rhythm of playing football ahead of the business end of the season.

Van Dijk will undoubtedly start and he’ll be expected to be a menace to the Norwich attackers.

Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson should both start in their usual full-back positions and will be hoping to increase their assist tally as well.
