LIVE UPDATES: Liverpool vs Norwich

Liverpool will hope to start the season on a winning note Liverpool will hope to start the season on a winning note

Good Evening, Ah, Premier League football.
Hello again old friend...

Yes, as you may have heard, the Premier League is BACK.

Who will be champions? Who will make the top four? Who will be relegated? Who will over-achieve? Who will fall short?

So many questions, and the journey to finding out the answers starts tonight as last season's Champions League winners Liverpool face last season's Championship winners Norwich.

It's been three months since the end of the 2018/19 Premier League season, when Liverpool missed out on winning the title by just one point.

Jurgen Klopp said after the final day that his side will "go again" this year as they aim to end their long wait for a league title.
But will they finish ahead of City?

A fast start would surely help. Start with intensity, win in style, lay down a marker. It's time to "go again".

Jurgen Klopp's Reds finished runners-up to Manchester City by a solitary point last season, but that disappointment was offset by their Champions League triumph in Madrid.

Having lifted the European Cup for the sixth time in their history, Liverpool are now targeting a first league title since 1989 - and last season's photo finish shows that any title hopeful cannot afford to waste a single point even this early in the campaign.

While Liverpool are heavy favourites, Daniel Farke's Norwich will be flying high tonight after returning to the big time - and with Klopp's side not exactly convincing during pre-season, the Canaries may even cause a shock on Merseyside.
