Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane,

Mane missed Liverpool’s last two fixtures due to an injury he sustained against Wolves. The Senegalese international could be back in the starting XI for Saturday’s match and it would be a major boost for the European champions.

However, it won’t be much of a surprise if Klopp benches Mane as a precautionary measure and starts Oxlade-Chamberlain on the left wing.

Salah has become Liverpool’s top scorer this season and found the net twice against Southampton. The Egyptian will be starting on Saturday and he’ll be hoping to increase his tally of 18 goals. He’s been in some fine form recently and there’s no way the gaffer will decide to leave him out of the side.

Firmino provided a hat-trick of assists during the 4-0 win against the Saints at Anfield and will be eager to find spaces for his teammates while also trying to score against Norwich on Saturday.

But he’s also a goalscorer and will be keen to add to his tally – the Brazilian has only found the net in away games this campaign and could add to that at Carrow road.
