Norwich vs Liverpool LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League fixture today

Follow all the action live as champions-elect Liverpool take on rock-bottom Norwich City at Carrow Road.

Liverpool are already 22 points clear at the top of the Premier league table, however, Jurgen Klopp insists his side are solely focused on the task at hand ahead of the club’s Champions League last-16 tie against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

Daniel Farke’s Norwich are seven points adrift at the bottom, having won just one of their last 12 league games, but are set to be boosted by the return of Emiliano Buendia to the starting line-up.
