Grant Holt has scored more league goals than Luis Suárez and Andy Carroll combined and, as the forward fulcrum of Paul Lambert's efficient team, will be confident of adding to his haul against a Liverpool side who have conceded in all but one of their last 11 games. Norwich do not keep many clean sheets either but Liverpool's curiously wayward finishing means a home victory could be on the cards. <strong>Paul Doyle</strong></p><p><strong>Venue</strong> Carrow Road, Saturday 5.30pm</p><p><strong>Tickets </strong>Sold out</p><p><strong>Last season </strong>n/a</p><p><strong>Referee </strong>Mark Halsey</p><p><strong>This season's matches</strong> 18 <strong>Y</strong>46, <strong>R</strong>0, 2.56 cards per game</p><p><strong>Odds </strong>Norwich 3-1 Liverpool 21-20 Draw 13-5</p><h2><strong>Norwich</strong></h2><p><strong>Subs from</strong> Rudd, Steer, Morison, Jackson, Fox, Whitbread, Crofts, Pilkington, Lappin, Hoolahan, Barnett, Wilbraham, Naughton</p><p><strong>Doubtful</strong> Whitbread (calf)</p><p><strong>Injured</strong> Ayala (knee, Aug), Tierney (groin, Aug)</p><p><strong>Suspended</strong> None</p><p><strong>Form guide</strong> LLWDLW</p><p><strong>Disciplinary record</strong> Y51 R3</p><p><strong>Leading scorer</strong> Holt 13</p><h2><strong>Liverpool</strong></h2><p><strong>Subs from</strong> Doni, Jones, Aurélio, Coates, Rodríguez, Kuyt, Carragher, Sterling, Shelvey, Kelly, Coady, Flanagan, Robinson</p><p><strong>Doubtful</strong> Gerrard (hamstring)</p><p><strong>Injured</strong> Adam (knee, Aug), Lucas (knee, Aug)</p><p><strong>Suspended</strong> None</p><p><strong>Form guide</strong> LWDLLL</p><p><strong>Disciplinary record</strong> Y52 R5</p><p><strong>Leading scorer</strong> Suárez 8</p><h2><strong>Match pointers</strong></h2><p><strong>• Between them, these sides mustered 16 shots on target in the reverse fixture at Anfield but the game ended 1-1</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>• Norwich have lost 2-1 in both their last two home games against Liverpool</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>• Only Wolves (six) have picked up fewer points than Liverpool (12) in 2012</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>• Norwich have gone 11 games without keeping a clean sheet, the joint longest run in the Premier League along with Bolton</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>• Craig Bellamy (six) has more bookings than Charlie Adam (five) this season despite committing 41 fewer fouls</strong></p><div class="related" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/norwichcity">Norwich City</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/liverpool">Liverpool</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/premier-league-2011-12">Premier League 2011-12</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/premierleague">Premier League</a></li></ul></div><br/><div class="terms"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk">guardian.co.uk</a> &copy; 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
