There’ll be an extra spring in Liverpool supporters’ step come Saturday at 15:00 in the UK as well, as their side remain undefeated in their last 28 Premier League matches when kicking off at this time.
Liverpool
It’s been a good 2022 for Liverpool so far. They’re undefeated in their ten games to date, while winning their last seven across all competitions, including a crucial 2-0 midweek victory versus Inter Milan in UEFA Champions League action. There’ll be an extra spring in Liverpool supporters’ step come Saturday at 15:00 in the UK as well, as their side remain undefeated in their last 28 Premier League matches when kicking off at this time. On home soil, the second-placed ‘Reds’ have been rampant, winning their last six Premier League home matches whilst conceding only once and enjoying a half-time lead on five occasions. A visit from relegation-threatened Norwich should ensure that momentum continues as Liverpool have lost only one home Premier League H2H against the visitors, scoring 4 goals in three of Norwich’s last four visits.
Norwich
The gap to safety is widening again for Norwich, and after already losing 3-0 twice to Liverpool this season, and coming fresh off the back of a 4-0 drubbing by league-leaders Manchester City – a side Liverpool are desperately trying to close the gap on – the Canaries’ Premier League status is teetering on the edge. With positive results in the three Premier Leaguegames prior to playing City though, talk of survival for Dean Smith’s side is at least back on the agenda. As the league’s lowest scorers, escaping from the coal mine that is the relegation zone looks unlikely for Norwich unless they can improve upfront. Three of their 14 goals did arrive in their last Premier League away match though, and should a contender for upset of the season occur here, it’ll be the first time in nine years that Norwich have won successive Premier League away matches!
Sadio Mane has been at the forefront of Liverpool’s regular first-half dominance this term, with seven of his last eight club goals coming before the break. Meanwhile, Joshua Sargent netted a brace in Norwich’s last Premier League away match, culminating in ten of his last 13 domestic goals being scored on the road. No Premier League team has secured more wins by a 2 goal margin this season than Liverpool’s 13.
