Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Tsimikas, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Jota, Diaz.
Subs: Gomez, Endo, Nunez, Elliott, Matip, McConnell, Kelleher, Quansah, Scanlon.

Subs: Patterson, Keane, Danjuma, Virginia, Beto, Godfrey, Gueye, Chermiti, Dobbin.
Referee: Craig Pawson (South Yorkshire).
A moment of silence for the dreadful situation in Gaza right now.
And we're all set to go - looks like a lovely day on Merseyside.
Mac Allister has been giving the ball away quite a lot recently, and he immediately does so again here. McNeil crosses from the left and Calvert-Lewin heads straight at Alisson. Nearly a dream start for the visitors!
Oh - Salah was in there but rather shanked his volley back across the area rather than toward goal.
Liverpool have enjoyed 76 percent of possession during these early exchanges. But Everton have had the best chance.
Into the second half and it's still 0-0 but the Toffees are playing with ten men after Yashley was sent off. Sean Dyche definitely playing for a draw now.
Liverpool want a pen - the ref waves on. VAR might take a peek at that challenge by Patterson on Diaz.
And now a second big shout for a pen. Michael Keane stuck an arm out and it struck it. Could well go against Everton.
Salah steps up...and rattles home the penalty. Pickers with no chance.
1-0 Reds!
Coming down to the last few minutes now - Liverpool seeing out a 1-0 win here.
Liverpool have wrapped up a 2-0 win with both goals from Mo Salah.
Now we're onto the big one from Carrow Road. An unchanged side for Farke as he returns to his old haunt.
Early corner conceded by former Canary Sam Byram.
Bugger! Shane Duffy nods home and we're 1-0 down early on.
Last time we were in East Anglia we conceded an early goal at Portman Road and then went on a scoring spree, winning 3-4 in the end.
Dan James wins us a corner - let's get it back!
It's been all us since going behind.
It's been end to end stuff in a riveting match with not so much defending worth note. Could easily be 3-2 or 4-3 already. Kamara, Piroe, Rutter and James have all missed big chances.
Bloody hell! 2-0 down now with Sarra ripping us apart.
Oh - now Cry tries a curler but it doesn't quite come off.
And that's the half time whistle. An odd match, which we've dominated with our attacking play for long stretches. It could easily be 3-3, but because of our wasteful finishing, we're 2-0 down instead.
We are back under way for the second half, with no changes for either side.
Oh - Cry dancing through and shooting but Duffy blocked well.
I'd have James off for Anthony and Rutter off for Bamford right about now.
Corner chance now - come on!
All the momentum is with us but Norwich look dangerous on the break.
Norwich make some changes but not us! Why?!
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!
Dan James has pulled one back but it looks as if the first goalscorer Duffy has put it in his own net!
2-1 We're back in this one!
Lord Bamford and Willy about to enter the fray.
Oh - poor from Meslier and we lucked out there as offside is called.
So Kamara and Byram off - very attacking move from Farke. Let's go!
Norwich totally parking the bus now. Still 15 minutes left.
Our old boy Adam Forshaw being brought on now.
Oh - James pulls a great save out of Long now. We're definitely knocking on the door.
The momentum is all with us now - we need to go on and win this one!
