Saturday afternoon’s Premier League action kicks off at Carrow Road where Norwich City face Liverpool.

Having won two straight games at the turn of the year, the Canaries have lost their last two to slip to within two points of the bottom three.

Victory here would see them rise above champions Chelsea into fourteenth place while anything other than a win could see them end the weekend in the relegation zone with both Swansea City and Newcastle United breathing down their necks.

Forward Steven Naismith is in line to make his debut after sealing his move from Everton though Gary O’Neil serves the second game of a three match suspension.

Naismith is priced at 11.0 (10/1) to get the first goal of the game with Bet 365, with Dieumerci Mbokani a 9.0 (8/1) chance with the same firm.

The home win is 4.2 (16/5) with a number of firms, with Liverpool favourites at a widely available price of 2.0 (1/1). The draw can be backed at 3.6 (13/5) with Bet 365.

Jurgen Klopp’s side ended a three game winless run with victory over Exeter City in their FA Cup third round replay on Wednesday evening.

They begin the weekend in ninth place but will leapfrog Crystal Palace and Stoke City, if only temporarily, with victory here.

A whole host of first team players are set to return, after Klopp fielded the kids in midweek though Jon Flanagan could retain his place after making his comeback from an eighteen month lay-off against the League Two side.

Christian Benteke is favourite to get the first goal of the fame at 5.5 (9/2) with Coral ahead of Roberto Fiminio, who can be backed at 7.0 (6/1) with Bet Victor.

The two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Anfield back in September, though the four clashes before that fixture saw at least five goals scored in it.

You can back there being over 4.5 this time around at 8.5 (15/2) with Bet Victor, while Liverpool are priced to net at least three times themselves at a generous price of 4.75 (15/4) with Coral.
