Last meeting: Liverpool 3,
Norwich City 0 (September 25, 2004):
The Canaries ran into a Liverpool
side playing football of the highest
order, with the Reds ran out comfortable
3-0 winners. Milan Baros set the ball
rolling with a fabulous 20-yard opener
and though Luis Garcia's strike deflected
off Craig Fleming and beyond Robert
Green it was nothing that the home
side didn't deserve. Frenchman Djibril
Cisse completed the scoreline from
a second half free-kick routine.
Chances: With a new man at
the helm, hopes are high that the
Reds will once again challenge for
the title. If Gerrard is as influential
as he was last season, they might
just have a chance, albeit a slim
one. Likely to pick up that final
Champions League berth again and could
be a decent shout for at least one
of the cups.
