Liverpool take on Norwich City at Anfield on Wednesday night in the Premier League.
The Reds will be looking to bounce back quickly from the miserable defeat at Hull City at the weekend, a result which left them seven points off leaders Arsenal and meant that they dropped down to fourth place.
Norwich struggled at the start of the season but they have started to climb the table in recent weeks and are four points clear of the relegation zone. Their last outing was a slender victory at home to Crystal Palace at the weekend.
Liverpool have doubts over Kolo Toure (hip), while Sebastian Coates (knee), Jose Enrique (knee) and Daniel Sturridge (ankle) miss out.
Norwich are without Elliott Bennett (knee), Mark Bunn (ankle), Anthony Pilkington (hamstring), Robert Snodgrass (knee), Alexander Tettey (ankle) and Ricky van Wolfswinkel (foot).

Me neither. And not just because United are bad, but because Everton are very good and Martinez is a damn good manager.

Yeah, apart from our result it's not been a great night for us, but I guess all we can do is win our own games.

When we were 1-0 up they were all in our favour!!

Everton look good.
With no Europe they are a genuine threat for top 4 the same as us.
Problem for them is if Lukaku gets injured as Jelavic has fallen apart and Kone is out all season (and not great anyway).
It looks like Man Utd will be the team under threat from Us, Everton and Spurs, with Arsenal, City and Chelsea vying for the title.
Good fixtures again at the weekend. Man Utd v Newcastle. Arsenal v Everton. Sunderland v Spurs.
Another three points is a must for us.

Good win defending was poor, agger and skrtel need to fix up. Sahko has to start with either one of the others. Great performance but stil need to better the game against Tottenham will tell us more.
