Liverpool Confirmed Lineup vs Norwich City: Keita in for Fabinho; Mane on the bench

Sadio Mane is only fit enough to make the bench while Naby Keita comes in for Fabinho as Liverpool get set to take on Norwich City at Carrow Road.

Jurgen Klopp has made just one change to the side that beat Southampton last time out in the Premier League as Liverpool prepare to lock horns with Norwich City at Carrow Road. The only shuffle comes in midfield, meaning Alisson Becker starts in goal for the Reds.

The first-choice defensive quartet take their places in the backline, with Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez starting at the heart of the Liverpool defence. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson form the full-back pairing for the visitors.

Up ahead in midfield, the aforementioned change sees Naby Keita replacing Fabinho. Fabinho’s omission means Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson drop to the base of the three-man midfield unit. Keita and Georginio Wijnaldum will reprise the no. 8 roles.

As for attack, the big news is that Sadio Mane has not been deemed fit enough to start. Mane makes the bench, though, meaning Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain starts on the left side of the Liverpool attack, while Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino take their customary places.

Liverpool Starting Lineup: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Keita, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Oxlade-Chamberlain
