Liverpool manager, Kenny Dalglish, insists there is no prospect of his team taking promoted Norwich lightly today at Anfield.
Paul Lambert’s team have won three of their last four matches and also impressed in their 2-0 defeat at Manchester United at the start of October.
They sit just three points behind the Reds as they look for a first victory at Liverpool since a 1-0 win in the final game before Anfield’s Kop terrace was demolished in 1994.
The 1-1 draw with Manchester United last weekend was Liverpool’s second home draw in four matches this season and they are still waiting for a first clean sheet in front of their own fans.
But Dalglish, whose team are fifth in the Premier League table, is sure that his players will have the right attitude against the Canaries.
“I don’t know what other people expect, but I know what we do,” Dalglish said. “We expect as difficult a game against Norwich as Manchester United gave us last week.
“Paul Lambert has done a fantastic job there. They are sitting there pretty comfortable in the league in ninth position. They went to Old Trafford and played very well. I’m sure they will be looking forward to coming here and doing equally well.
“They’ve done brilliantly. The players and personnel may be new but for us it’s straight forward. We will give them every bit as much respect as we did against Manchester United or Everton the week before.
