Recent Form
Liverpool haven’t had the best pre-season. They won only 3 of their 7 matches. Two of those victories came against much weaker sides in Tranmere and Bradford. Their only victory of not was against Lyon and even that was far from convincing. However, when it mattered the most, Liverpool delivered and took Manchester City to the brink of a loss. They were unfortunate to lose the Community Shield but they gave a good account of themselves and have shown that the Pre-season results don’t matter a lot.
In comparison, Norwich City have had a better pre-season winning 4 out 7 games. They defeated notable names such as Schalke and Toulouse but were also heavily defeated by the likes of Atlanta and Brentford.
