Liverpool have made four changes to the side which lost to Chelsea for their Premiership clash with Norwich at Carrow Road this lunch-time.

With Xabi Alonso out with a broken ankle, Antonio Nunez comes into midfield.  Neil Mellor, Stephen Warnock and Salif Diao are also recalled to the starting XI.  Djimi Traore, Florent Sinama-Pongolle and Dietmar Hamann all drop to the bench.

Norwich, hovering just above the relegation zone, make only one alteration from the side which earned a 1-1 draw at Portsmouth.

Full-back Marc Edworthy is suspended following his red card at Fratton Park, so Denmark captain Thomas Helveg, fit again after suffering concussion, replaces him.
