Liverpool vs Norwich City lineups: Confirmed team news and starting XIs for Premier League opener at Anfield

Jurgen Klopp has named Sadio Mane among Liverpool's substitutes for tonight's Premier League opener against Norwich as Jurgen Klopp named the same eleven that lost last weekend's Community Shield to Manchester City on penalties.

Senegal forward Mane only returned from international duty on Monday and took his place on the bench alongside James Milner, who recovered from a muscular injury to make the matchday squad.

Norwich manager Daniel Farke chose not to name any of his new signings in his side, picking eight of the players that started the 2-1 win over Aston Villa on the final day of the Championship season in May.

New boys Patrick Roberts, Josip Drmic, Sam Byram and Ralf Fahrmann were all named among the substitutes.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Origi

Subs: Milner, Keita, Mane, Adrian, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Shaqiri, Matip

Norwich City XI: Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Godfrey, Lewis, McLean, Trybull, Emi, Stiepermann, Cantwell, Pukki

Subs: Byram, Roberts, Vrancic, Leitner, Hernandez, Drmic, Fahrmann

Referee: Michael Oliver
