LIV vs NOR Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups
Liverpool will kick start the 2019-20 Premier League season with a home game against Norwich City.
Jurgen Klopp‘s team mustered a huge 97 points last season and lost the coveted title they have not been in the Premier League era to Manchester City by the barest of margins – one point.
That huge points tally would have been enough for Liverpool to win the title in all the Premier League season, bar one, and that’s why Klopp knows that his team needs to emulate the consistency of the last season if they are to topple Pep Guardiola‘s expensively-assembled squad.
