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.

Suggested combination:
LIV vs NOR Dream11 potential winner: Liverpool haven’t lost at Anfield in the Premier League since April 23, 2017, when former Reds Christian Benteke scored twice to lead Crystal Palace to a memorable 2-1 win.
We can’t see that trend to end here and see the Reds to win this match.
