Liverpool begin their quest to regain the Premier League title at newly-promoted Norwich this evening.
Virgil van Dijk is back after a long injury hell and Jurgen Klopp will be looking for another title duel with the likes of champions Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United.
Norwich, meanwhile, return to the top flight after a one-season absence looking to build on a dismal showing last time out. They begin with one of the toughest tests of the season.

Norwich vs Liverpool prediction
Norwich are back after another impressive promotion campaign in the Championship but it remains a tall order for any team to match Liverpool, let alone beat them.
Getting anything out of the Reds will be a bonus for Norwich, they know their real battles will lie elsewhere. I cannot see past a routine Liverpool win at Carrow Road, 3-1.
