Liverpool had an unexpectedly hectic week. They were in a great moment in the season, being leaders of the Premier League and finalists of the Carabao Cup, when Jurgen Klopp announced his decision to leave the club after the end of this semester. No one expected such news at this point in time and it may have affected the mood of the squad.

Now the coach's goal is to get the players to focus again on what is important: winning titles. They are the only team in England that are still competing in the four tournaments they faced this season, and in all of them they are very well positioned. This Sunday they will have the mission to get a win at Anfield Road to advance to the round of 16 of the FA Cup.

Under normal circumstances, Liverpool should have no problem beating Norwich City, a club that are in ninth place in the Championship, England's second division. But the unexpected events of this week can affect the team's performance and so they must be careful not to relax to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Coach Jurgen Klopp decided that the starting lineup will be: Alisson; Jarell Quansah, Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konate, James McConnell; Ryan Gravenberch, Conor Bradley, Curtis Jones; Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota. Also on the bench will be Caoimhin Kelleher, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Harvey Elliott, Dominik Szoboszlai, Bobby Clark, Owen Beck and Luis Diaz.
