Liverpool kick start the new Premier League campaign at Anfield against promoted Norwich City.
The Reds had an average pre-season campaign and they lost to Man City in the Community Shield contest at the weekend. Still, Klopp’s men should be considered favorites to earn all three points vs the reigning Championship champions.
The two teams last met back in January 2016 in a contest that the Merseysiders won 5-4 thanks to an injury time goal scored by Adam Lallana.

As far as Klopp’s team news is concerned, the German boss could make a few changes to the squad that started vs the Sky Blues on Sunday.
Sadio Mane has returned from his extended break after the African Cup of Nations and the star winger should get the nod to start in place of Origi.
The Senegalese international has the chance to match Teddy Sheringham’s record of scoring in four consecutive opening league fixtures. The likes of Firmino and Salah should start with Mane in the attack.
The midfield should remain unchanged. Wijnaldum, Henderson and Fabinho could start vs the Canaries in the center of the park.
As far as the back-line is concerned, Klopp should make one change, he should bring back Joel Matip in place of Joe Gomez to start with Van Dijk in the central defense.
Here is Liverpool’s strongest possible 4-3-3 XI vs Norwich:
