Norwich City and Liverpool face off at Carrow Road, with both sides looking for their first Premier League win of the season.

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton will urge his team to get their first three points on the board on Saturday as they welcome Liverpool, who are also struggling to find their first win in the Premier League.

Both sides managed to grab a spot in the fourth round of the League Cup last night but the Canaries will be desperate to overcome their 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United, while the Reds were forced to accept a 2-1 loss to Manchester United on Sunday.

Hughton is likely to keep Bradley Johnson and Jonny Howson holding the midfield, while Steve Morison should retain his place up front this Saturday.

Meanwhile, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is expected to recall the likes of Steven Gerrard, Joe Allen and Luis Suarez after resting them for the League Cup. However, Nuri Sahin could snatch a starting spot due to Jonjo Shelvey's suspension.

Reports have claimed that defender Daniel Agger could return to the lineup, despite getting stretchered off the field against United on Sunday.

Recent form:

Norwich: DDDLW
Liverpool: DLDLW

Possible lineups:

Norwich: Ruddy; Martin, Barnett, Bassong, Garrido; Snodgrass, Howson, Johnson, Surman; Hoolahan, Morison

Liverpool: Reina; Enrique, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson; Gerrard, Allen, Sahin; Borini, Suarez, Sterling

Sports Mole says: 0-1
