There is plenty to like about this contest and you’ll find that the betting public seems to be very confident in the fact that Liverpool will be able to pick up right where they left off last season and should be able to pull off a relatively comfortable victory against Norwich. 

The bookmakers have Liverpool trading at a best price of around 2/13 so there isn’t a whole lot of value in backing them to win outright. You are, however, looking at a really enticing price if you think that the Canaries are going to pull off a surprise victory here - and that isn’t entirely out of the question either. 

If you had to pick a time to back a newly promoted side to beat an established top team, the first contest of the season is a pretty solid spot to do it since both sides lack momentum and have had some interesting off-seasons as well. 

Norwich can be backed at a price of around 20/1 for the outright win and that’s great value that will probably climb as we go into the match-up itself. That price would drop to about 5/1 if they were to score within the first 15 minutes so it’s worth factoring that into your reckoning. 

The draw can be backed at a full 8/1 right now and that may wind up being a plausible outcome if Liverpool don’t start the match with a whole lot of verve.
