Norwich represent the first of four consecutive inviting home games for Liverpool that will be as much a test of Anfield’s support for Brendan Rodgers as his ability to produce a winning, cohesive team. Liverpool have been prolific in this fixture in recent years, scoring five in three of the past four meetings, but that was when Luis Suárez was destroying them. Alex Neil’s team may now also be a different proposition. Defeat at Southampton last month was Norwich’s first in 15 away games under the Scot.Andy Hunter
