Liverpool vs Norwich LIVE!

It was an emotional day at Anfield as Liverpool took to the pitch for the first time since Jurgen Klopp announced his shock decision to leave the club at the end of the season. The German coach is determined to "squeeze everything out" of this final campaign and a second run to Wembley will certainly help with that.

The Premier League leaders and Europa League contenders, already through to the Carabao Cup final, are among the favourites to lift the FA Cup too and brushed aside Championship club Norwich on Sunday. A team led by Klopp's best friend and former right-hand man David Wagner are pushing for promotion from the second tier but it was all the way back in 1994 when the Canaries last beat the Reds and they never threatened a shock repeat 30 years later.

Liverpool had five different scorers in a 5-2 rout in Curtis Jones, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch, while substitute Borja Sainz scored the pick of the bunch for Norwich after an early reply from Ben Gibson. Follow Liverpool vs Norwich reaction live below, with either Southampton or Watford now awaiting in round five as the second-tier duo face a replay.

16:22 , George Flood

15:58 , George Flood

68 mins: Goaaa... no!

15:57 , George Flood

15:52 , George Flood

63 mins: It's becoming a rout at Anfield!

Two substitutes combine as Van Dijk easily loses his marker and powers in a header from Szoboszlai's corner from the right.

Still more than 25 minutes left here as well.

Liverpool 3-1 Norwich

15:51 , George Flood

58 mins: Barnes tries to lob Alisson from inside his own half but gets the execution all wrong.

By the way, there was a huge handball shout inside the box against Norwich's Sam McCallum shortly before that Jota goal.

VAR would have been very interested indeed in that had Liverpool not scored.

Liverpool 3-1 Norwich

15:46 , George Flood

55 mins: Klopp looks to his bench after that third goal, with Andy Robertson on for his first appearance since early October following shoulder surgery.

Liverpool 2-1 Norwich

15:40 , George Flood

51 mins: Patient and neat build-up play from Liverpool, with Jones wrapping a right-footed effort narrowly wide of the far post with Long at full stretch.

49 mins: Much better from Norwich as Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Sara lets fly with a spinning effort from outside the box that crashes into the advertising hoardings and into the outside of the net.

And that concludes a speedy version of the FA Cup fifth-round draw.

15:16 , George Flood

45 mins: A late first-half flurry from Norwich, with a long throw-in from the left flicked into the hands of Alisson by Hanley.

They quickly come again but can't pick out the final pass and the Liverpool goalkeeper collects once more.

Two minutes of stoppage time will be added.

Liverpool 2-1 Norwich

15:15 , George Flood

42 mins: Closing in on half-time at Anfield, where it's still all Liverpool and has been really for this entire first period aside from that Gibson goal against the run of play.

They could and should be leading by more, but no further chances to speak of at the moment.

Liverpool 2-1 Norwich

15:10 , George Flood

38 mins: Norwich's commitment to playing out from the back could easily see them hammered if they are not careful. They are getting caught in possession time and time again inside their own half.

Luckily for them, Gakpo hasn't brought his shooting boots to Anfield this afternoon. Another effort from the Dutchman fails to test Long.

Liverpool 2-1 Norwich

15:09 , George Flood

35 mins: Norwich are still hugely under the cosh with 10 minutes to go until half-time.

Nunez nearly connects with a corner at the back post as Liverpool force another, but David Wagner's men get away with it.

Liverpool 2-1 Norwich

15:04 , George Flood

31 mins: Gomez lofts the ball in behind for a stretching Bradley, who manages to steer it into the path of Gakpo, who side-foots wide.

Norwich are then caught horribly inside their own box and Gravenberch is denied.

Liverpool piling on the pressure once again now, with Norwich making way too many mistakes in possession.

GOAL! Liverpool 2-1 Norwich | Darwin Nunez 28'

14:59 , George Flood

28 mins: The Liverpool lead is quickly restored!

Norwich are caught in possession again down the Liverpool right by Bradley, who goes on to play a delicious one-two with Jota before playing in Nunez for a first touch and then a fine instinctive finish into the bottom corner.

The goals are flying in early at Anfield.

An assist each already for young duo McConnell and Bradley.

14:53 , George Flood

22 mins: Not so fast! The Canaries are level against the run of play!

14:47 , George Flood

16 mins: Deadlock broken!

It's a lovely cross to the back post from young McConnell, whose ball is headed in past Long by an unmarked Jones.

That could be the first of many for Liverpool here. You fear a very long afternoon may be ahead for the visitors.

Liverpool 0-0 Norwich

14:46 , George Flood

12 mins: Norwich embark upon a rare foray forward down the right flank and almost pay the price for it.

Liverpool snuff out the attack and then launch a blistering counter, with a stretching Nunez just unable to turn home Jota's excellent cross to the back post.

Liverpool 0-0 Norwich

14:43 , George Flood

10 mins: Liverpool strike the woodwork!

Jack Stacey is the latest Norwich player to be caught in possession in a dangerous area, with Nunez then firing against the base of the post from outside the box.

Feels like just a matter of time before the hosts go in front.

Liverpool 0-0 Norwich

14:40 , George Flood

8 mins: Here come Liverpool again, Jota getting to the byline and pulling back for Nunez, who touches it off for a Gravenberch cross that narrowly evades the head of a leaping Jones inside the six-yard box.

Gakpo then miscues horribly at the back post and the ball sails high into the stands.

Liverpool 0-0 Norwich

14:38 , George Flood

5 mins: Liverpool's first chance is for Joe Gomez, who cuts in off the left and fizzes a deflected low effort narrowly wide of the near post after the Reds press high and swarm all over that uncertain Norwich defence to quickly get possession back.

This is already looking a bit ominous for the Championship outfit. They can't get a foothold early on and are being penned back deep into their own half.

Liverpool 0-0 Norwich

14:35 , George Flood

3 mins: An early defensive lapse opens the door for Diogo Jota, with Norwich scrambling to recover as they deal with a subsequent corner.

A dominant start from the Reds, as you might expect.

Liverpool vs Norwich

Klopp initially with his head bowed and hands pressed as the usual pre-match rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' belts out around Anfield.

Always a spine-tingler of course, but that one hit a little different.

Underway in the game, with both sides in their familiar home strips - all red vs yellow and green.

Fifth-round draw now coming at half-time

14:19 , George Flood

ITV have confirmed that this afternoon's FA Cup fifth-round draw will now take place at HALF-TIME of today's Liverpool-Norwich tie.

That is due to the crowd trouble that forced the early Black Country derby between West Brom and Wolves at The Hawthorns to be suspended.

That game has since restarted and now finished, with Wolves winning 2-0, but there is not enough time left to squeeze in the draw before the game at Anfield gets underway.

Six Norwich changes from Leeds loss

14:16 , George Flood

I make that six changes from the Norwich team that were edged out by Leeds at Elland Road in the Championship in midweek.

In come George Long, Grant Hanley, Sam McCallum, Onel Hernandez, Christin Fassnacht and Ashley Barnes.

Out go Angus Gunn, Shane Duffy, Dimitris Giannoulis, Jon Rowe, Josh Sargent and Borja Sainz.

Klopp picks strong Liverpool side

14:06 , George Flood

As for the team news at Anfield, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dominik Szoboszlai and Andy Robertson are all on the Liverpool bench this afternoon.

Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are the starting full-backs again, as they were for the Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg clash at Fulham on Wednesday, with Jarell Quansah still at centre-back and fellow teenager James McConnell lining up in midfield alongside Curtis Jones.

Diogo Jota is back into the attack at the expense of Luis Diaz, who is not involved.

Alisson and Ibrahima Konate also come in for Caoimhin Kelleher and captain Virgil van Dijk, who is among the substitutes along with youngsters such as Owen Beck and Bobby Clark.

West Brom-Wolves tie set to resume after crowd trouble

It looks like West Brom-Wolves is due to restart imminently, so I'm guessing the draw will just be pushed back by 10 to 15 minutes or so. But we'll keep you fully updated here.

West Brom-Wolves clash suspended due to crowd trouble

13:50 , George Flood

We're not sure at this stage if the FA Cup fifth-round draw is scheduled to be delayed or not.

Crowd trouble at The Hawthorns has led to the early Black Country derby between West Brom and Wolves being suspended with eight minutes plus stoppage time still to play.

A decision is set to be made soon on whether or not the match can restart.

That game is being shown on ITV1, as is the draw and Liverpool vs Norwich.

Wagner hails best friend Klopp's 'bravery' after Liverpool bombshell

12:56 , George Flood

It is a curious quirk of fate that Jurgen Klopp's first game since announcing his shock summer departure from Liverpool should come against his best friend and former protege.

Norwich boss David Wagner was full of praise for his fellow German ahead of today's FA Cup tie, insisting his decision to step down showed real "personality, character and bravery" as he called Klopp the "best manager in the world".

Wagner said: "I wasn't surprised when he told me; I was happy for him.

"I know how hard and how difficult for him this decision was and it shows a lot of personality, character and bravery to make this decision.

"But only he knows what is best for him and altogether we know how exhausting and how challenging the business can be.

"No one has more understanding for this decision as I do. If he knows it's best for him then I am happy for him.

"Our friendship developed to something more than friendship, he is like a family member.

"He will always help you out if there is something where you can lean on his shoulder, all the stuff you need in good times or less times, this is the relationship that we have. Luckily we can see each other one more time.

"For me, he is the best manager in the world."

Norwich team news

12:28 , George Flood

Norwich's hopes of springing an FA Cup upset today and beating Liverpool for the first time in any competition since April 1994 have been hit by two key absences in attack.

American forward Josh Sargent has already played against both West Brom and Leeds this week after injury and David Wagner said he always planned to rest him for this game having prioritised the Canaries' push for the Championship play-offs.

Exciting young winger Jon Rowe is also out after breaking his hand in the 1-0 defeat by Leeds at Elland Road on Wednesday.

Norwich are also without centre-back Danny Batth on Merseyside this afternoon.

Andy Robertson and Dominik Szoboszlai will both be vying to return for Liverpool today, likewise Trent Alexander-Arnold - though it could be that his comeback is against Chelsea on Wednesday night instead.

Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic, Ben Doak, Joel Matip and Kostas Tsimikas are all still sidelined for the Reds, while Wataru Endo is still at the Asian Cup with Japan.

Mohamed Salah is now back at Liverpool receiving treatment for a hamstring injury suffered at the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt.

Welcome to Liverpool vs Norwich and FA Cup draw live coverage

12:07 , George Flood

The end of an era begins at Anfield this afternoon as Liverpool play for the first time since Jurgen Klopp's bombshell announcement that he will be leaving the club after almost nine years at the end of the season.

It is bound to be an emotional day on Merseyside as the Anfield crowd pay homage to one of their true managerial icons, with Championship play-off chasers Norwich facing the unenviable task of trying to spring a huge upset when the Reds players and fans alike are all together in an attempt to ensure that they maximise Klopp's chances of going out with as many trophies as possible.

It is perhaps fitting that today's opposition are led by David Wagner, Klopp's best friend and former right-hand man at Borussia Dortmund who is trying to steer Norwich back into the Premier League this season.

Kick-off today is at 2:30pm GMT, so follow all the latest team news, Klopp tributes and live updates, plus full coverage of the FA Cup fifth-round draw that is coming up shortly before the game.
