Norwich City hosts Crystal Palace in round 1 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, August 14th at Carrow Road (Norwich)
Norwich is a classic version of the football elevator that moves between two major leagues of Foggy Albion. The Canaries played in League 1 in 2010, but after that they managed to get into the Championship and the Premier League four times. Only Farke, who has been working in Norwich since 2017, has won the promotion for the second time. The last performance in the elite division ended with the inglorious and immediate relegation. But the management left Daniel in charge, and he quickly returned the Canaries to the Premier League. For a new start, an active transfer campaign was carried out. Gunn, Giannoulis, Gibson, Lees-Melou, Rashica, and loaned Gilmour should become the players of the first eleven. But to buy them the bosses had to sell the brain of the team (Buendia) to Aston Villa.

The previous season was not successful for Liverpool. This was attributed to the fact that both regular central defenders, van Dijk and Joe Gomez, were consistently injured. But it was obvious that the whole lineup needed to be changed and strengthened. But so far, only the most critical position has been closed. The Reds acquired Ibrahima Konate, but will this player, who was not unconditionally regular in RB Leipzig, justify expectations? Liverpool didn’t buy anyone to replace Wijnaldum, whose contract expired, and there is no new person in the attack group. Hope for further progress of Harvey Elliott? But he's only 18 years old. Moreover, Thiago Alcantara arrived at the club with damage, and Robertson picked up an injury in one of the last test matches against Athletic. Will the flank be closed again by the versatile Milner? But he is not getting younger.
Norwich is an extremely convenient opponent for Liverpool. The Canaries beat the Reds for the last time in 1994. Since then, the clubs have held 14 matches, and Liverpool allowed Norwich to gain only two draws. In the 2019/2020 season, when the underdog climbed into the Premier League for the last time, it was 4-1 and 1-0 in favor of the Reds. Liverpool have not gotten rid of half of their problems, and the results may be the same as in the previous season. But the Reds should deal with such an opponent without any problems.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.5 handicap
