Liverpool vs Norwich betting preview

Liverpool:

Liverpool are a side that are currently constantly reorganising, aiming to find that magic formula which will see them at top of the game where they arguably belong. Liverpool are currently 8^th in the Premier League, which is quite impressive given their form last season and the start of the league this season. Choose a free bet for this match.

Liverpool’s defence is a strong point, other than against Manchester United last weekend, Liverpool kept clean sheets in their last two league games. Additionally, in recent matches they have been managing to score, primarily due to the great form Gerrard and Suarez have been showing.

Suarez is the man, he is arguably one of the best centre forwards in the world, any team would be lucky to have him. If Liverpool’s midfield are on fire then inevitably Suarez will remain in constant goal scoring form. Liverpool have a few fixtures coming up where they are expected to win and given their current discipline they are favourites. Finishing in the top 4 is not out of sight yet, Liverpool have a strong chance in doing so.

Norwich:

Norwich are in 12^th position in the Premier League this season and they should be happy with this position, they have played well particularly at home. Additionally they love the play real football and they can give top teams a tough time of it, which is evident from their victory against Manchester United, from scoring three goals against Manchester City at home, as well as conceding just one goal against Chelsea.

However over recent weeks Norwich have not had a good time of it, they have not won in their last 5 Premier League games, so although their 12^th position placing appears impressive, it could be much better. But nevertheless, Norwich have a good squad, they play good football and it won’t be long before they start winning again.

Liverpool v Norwich

Liverpool go in to this game as favourites, especially given their decent performance against Manchester United last weekend. However, Norwich can pull out a victory in any circumstances, they fight for victory and will not make it easy for Liverpool. If Norwich can defend Suarez well and not give Gerrard plenty of time on the ball then it is questionable where Liverpool’s goals are going to come from. But on balance Liverpool have shown great ability in recent weeks and in combination with their home advantage and strong defence, they should just win this
