Liverpool has a chance to break the history books in the EFL Cup this season as they start their journey against Norwich City. The match schedules for Tuesday at Carrow Road, with kickoff at 9:45 pm.
The Canaries saw a 3-1 defeat to fellow promotion mates Watford last weekend in the Premier League. On the other hand, Liverpool showed their dominance over Crystal Palace with a 3-0 win.
Life back in England’s top flight is proving a nightmare for Farke, who continues waiting for his first win. Currently, the Canaries are on a five-game losing streak. Their latest loss left a bitter taste on the supporters after Watford broke their defense three times.
Even a Teemu Pukki goal was not enough to cancel’s Emmanuel Dennis strike, followed by an Ismaila Sarr brace. The Canaries find themselves at the bottom of the table after five fixtures in even though it’s too early to think of relegation woes, Farke needs to work on it.
On the other hand, they face a Liverpool side tied with Chelsea at the top of the table with equal points. Sadio Mane followed his fellow mate in clinching a century of goals for the Anfield outfit.
After hitting the 100th mark, Sadio Mane broke the record for goals in successive matches against a single opponent. The side is currently tied at seven EFL Cup wins with Manchester City.
