Liverpool hosts Norwich in round 1 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, August 9th at Anfield (Liverpool)
Liverpool held not the best preseason. Jurgen Klopp's team played 7 friendly matches, where it gained only three victories. The meeting with Napoli, where the Reds lost 0-3 to their opponent, was the most indicial. And literally on Sunday evening, Liverpool held a meeting as part of the English Super Cup, where it managed to play a draw with Manchester City in the regulation time of the match. The Citizens beat Liverpool only in a penalty shootout, leaving it without another trophy in the collection. And now, having saved the backbone of the players from last season, and not having made any point reinforcements, the Reds are preparing to hold the first official home match of the season against the Canaries.
