We are back! Hello and welcome to our LIVE updates of the clash between Premier League new boys, Norwich City and Liverpool at Carrow Road. Can Jurgen Klopp's men get off to a flyer in their bid to wrestle back the title? Or will the Canaries follow Brentford's example and upset one of the league's big names on the opening weekend of the 2021-22 season? Kick off 17.30 BST.

29 YEARS AND COUNTING. Norwich have managed just one win in their opening Premier League fixture in nine attempts. That success came way back in 1992 when they defeated Arsenal 4-2 at Highbury.

Again, Norwich struggle to clear the left-wing corner. Keita collects it on the far side of the box and picks out Jota, but his header is touched over the bar by Krul.

Tsimikas beautifully side-steps his man and whips a devilish ball into the six-yard box for Jota, but Gibson does brilliantly to steer it over his own bar on the slide and avert the danger.

STAT: Liverpool have been defeated just once in their first Premier League game in their past 11 seasons (W7, D3).

Norwich make a meal of defending the resulting left-wing corner but get away with a miscue on the first clearance and Liverpool can't make anything of it.

Cantwell mops up at the back post after Mane had flicked-on an Alexander Arnold cross.

It's been a bright start from the Canaries. Milot Rashica has looked sharp with a few forays down the left but the hosts have yet to pull the trigger and trouble Alisson.

League H2H at Norwich: Liverpool 14 wins, Norwich 7 wins, Draws 7.

The Merseysiders are unbeaten in the last 14 top-flight meetings, winning on 12 occasions. The Reds have also won on their seven previous trips to Carrow Road.

KICK OFF! Norwich get us underway. They are back in the big time!

MORE HISTORY FOR SALAH? Mo Salah has scored on the opening weekend in each of the last four Premier League seasons. He is the only Liverpool player ever to do so.

If he nets today he would become the first Premier League player ever to record the feat in five successive campaigns. It would also be the 100th different Liverpool game in which he has found the net (all competitions).

DID YOU KNOW? Liverpool won 1-0 at Norwich City in February 2020 courtesy of a late Sadio Mane strike. It is actually their most recent away victory in front of a capacity crowd due to the pandemic.

The Reds completed a league double over the Canaries during that title-winning campaign as they also claimed a 4-1 opening day success at Anfield.

'If Liverpool’s 2020 title triumph was a scintillating dream, then the defence was very much a painful nightmare' - A closer look at the Merseysiders ahead of the 2021-22 season.

Will the return of van Dijk and co help the Reds recapture the aura that saw them follow up the 2019 Champions League crown with a first top-flight title in 30 years in 2020?

VIDEO: Klopp on trying to challenge when rivals spend big in the market

Grant Hanley: "We’re another couple of years more experienced at working with the manager and there are a lot of players still here who were here last time in the Premier League, so I think the lessons we’ve learnt from the past will definitely help us. Ultimately, we’ve got to show belief and be confident in our own ability to compete at the top level.”

Norwich boss Daniel Farke on the importance of having fans back at Carrow Road: "It is the heart and the soul of our club. That is why I call it our living room. Our heart is beating at Carrow Road. There is nothing like this feeling when we all beating and all united. To have Carrow Road rocking. To feel that unity and to celebrate together, that is what football is about. It is about sharing these feelings and experiences together.”

Trent Alexander Arnold on the return of the influential VVD: "He is a natural leader, speaks when he needs to speak, he is dominant, has a presence, you know when he enters a room - he is someone you listen to when he speaks, so that is exactly what you want from a leader. He is someone that a lot of players look up to, he is an amazing athlete, and an amazing footballer, as well as being an amazing guy, so he is someone that fits in perfectly. So to have him back now will only be better for us even more."
