Norwich City – Liverpool

1. Norwich City host Liverpool in the day's final Premier League encounter. Norwich have the chance to pull level on points with their rivals.

2. Time for some team-news then...

3. <b>Norwich:</b> Ruddy, Naughton, Ryan Bennett, Ward, Drury, Elliott Bennett, Howson, Fox, Johnson, Pilkington, Morison. Subs: Steer, Martin, Vaughan, Holt, Surman, Hoolahan, Wilbraham.

6. Jonjo Shelvey and Jordan Henderson in the centre for Liverpool. Steven Gerrard supporting Luis Suarez up-front. Good news Liverpool fans?

7. The teams are in the tunnel. Let's get ready to rumble...

8. Nasty weather at Carrow Road. The teams are out. Let's just get going!

9. 1'

   <b>KICK OFF</b> We are underway as Liverpool kick us off.

10. 1'

    Decent start for Norwich. We have a delay already though as Jonjo Shelvey catches David Fox with his boot.

11. 2'

    Fox trots off to get his head stitched up and the play gets going again.

12. 3'

    Neither side settled yet. The ball is being turned-over with regularity at the moment.

13. 4'

    Bradley Johnson looks to play in Anthony Pilkington down the left. Cut out by Jamie Carragher.

14. 5'

    Decent passing spell for Norwich quickly comes to an end. Far from enterprising fare thus far.

15. 6'

    Liverpool's attempt at an attack comes quickly to an end. Luis Suarez' lofted ball to Bellamy only finds the Norwich full-back.

16. 7'

    Not the best game so far. Neither side able to keep the ball.

17. 8'

    Adam Drury goes down after beating Luis Suarez to a ball in midfield. Looks to be a groin issue.

18. 9'

    Looks like the end of his day for the long-serving full-back. Play underway again.

19. 10'

    Pilkington got behind the defence down the left, but his ball across the defence cannot pick out Morison.

20. 12'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Russell Martin replaces Adam Drury</b>

21. 12'

    That change will see Kyle Naughton move across to left-back, with Russell Martin at right-back.

22. 13'

    Norwich picking-off Liverpool's long-balls with ease at the moment. New strategy required.

23. 14'

    Free-kick to Norwich from the right-flank. Dangerous.

24. 15'

    Swung in, but straight to Pepe Reina. Poor.

25. 16'

    Uninspiring midfield play from both sides. This game is lacking in everything.

26. 17'

    Cross from the Liverpool left finds Shelvey at the back post, but the youngster's control is terrible and he can't get a shot away.

27. 18'

    Bellamy looks to get down the left-flank, but is flagged offside by the official. Nothing doing.

28. 19'

    Liverpool looking to the left-flank once more. No luck this time.

29. 22'

    Russell Martin gets down the right-flank and looks to get a cross in. Cut out by Agger.

30. 23'

    Long ball from Jamie Carragher looking for the man on the right-flank. Terribly overhit.

31. 24'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL Norwich 0-1 Liverpool Suarez scores!!!</b> Gerrard robs the ball in midfield, before feeding Luiz Suarez in the left channel for the Uruguayan to fire home.

32. 25'

    That puts a positive spin on proceedings. Hopefully the game will open up a bit.

33. 26'

    Suarez gets lucky on the right and breaks past Elliot Ward before picking out Steven Gerrard with a cut-back. Gerrard's shot is well-blocked.

34. 27'

    Liverpool well on top since the goal. Bellamy loops a cross in to the back-post. Cleared.

35. 28'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL Norwich 0-2 Liverpool Suarez at the double!!!</b> Breaking down the right after a mistake, the Uruguayan has far too much space and fires home with the outside of his boot past a helpless Ruddy.

36. 29'

    Suarez is the difference between the two sides at the moment.

37. 30'

    Norwich keeping the ball better since the second goal. They need to clear their minds.

38. 31'

    Bellamy taken out down the left-flank and wants a free-kick. The ball had already gone out of play though. Nothing given.

39. 33'

    Foul on Glen Johnson gives Liverpool a free-kick from the right. What can they do here?

40. 34'

    Opportunity not taken as they take it short. Messy passing loses the ball.

41. 35'

    Norwich can only blame themselves for the scoreline. Both goals from mistakes. Neither team playing well.

42. 36'

    Both teams try to string together some passes. It doesn't last long though.

43. 37'

    Anthony Pilkington looks to break in behind Carragher to spark a Norwich attack. The experienced defender deals well with the threat, stepping across to clear.

44. 38'

    Penalty claim from Luis Suarez. Went to ground very easily.

45. 39'

    Liverpool swing a corner in from the right. Well cleared by the head of Elliot Ward. Glen Johnson dallies and can't return the ball into the area.

46. 40'

    Liverpool getting frustrated with Norwich's hassling as they attack. Some tempers starting to flare.

47. 41'

    Bellamy catches Jonny Howson in midfield. Lucky to acoid a booking.

48. 42'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Elliot Ward</b> fouls Luis Suarez as the Uruguayan looks to counter.

49. 43'

    Bellamy lines-up the free-kick, but it is high and wide from the Welshman. Poor effort.

50. 44'

    Bellamy started his career at Norwich, scoring 34 goals in 91 games for the Canaries.

51. 45'

    As Norwich lose the ball in attack, Bellamy plays a long-ball forward for Suarez who is flagged offside. Would have been wide open for him there.

52. 45'

    Final chance of the half for Norwich to swing the ball into the box. Bellamy giving away a free-kick on the right.

53. 45'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Howson</b> - With the free-kick squandered, Howson prevents a Liverpool counter.

54. 45'

    <b>HALF TIME</b> Norwich 0-2 Liverpool

55. All about Luis Suarez in the first-half. A poor game lit up by two fine finishes from the Uruguayan.

56. Suarez has been criticised for his profligacy this campaign, but he made no mistake today.

57. They were, unfortunately, the only two shots on-target all half

58. Second-half coming up then. Norwich will need to significantly up their game to get anything from this one.

59. That's also ten league goals this season for Luis Suarez in 29 appearances. Modest return, but two big goals today.

60. The rain has got significantly heavier at half-time. Lovely stuff...

61. 46'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>James Vaughan replaced David Fox</b>

62. 46'

    <b>SECOND HALF</b> underway

63. 46'

    Within a few seconds, Norwich are attacking Liverpool and they have a corner. Doesn't reach the front-post though.

64. 47'

    Another corner for the Canaries. Swung in from the right and headed behind by Gerrard. Third time lucky.

65. 48'

    That one went out of play before reaching the box. Poor stuff from Pilkington.

66. 49'

    Liverpool now look to assert control in midfield. Norwich playing a diamond midfield now, in a 4-4-2

67. 50'

    Agger passes to no-one allowing Norwich to attack in-behind Glen Johnson. Carragher shepherds the ball for a throw-in.

68. 51'

    Brilliant save! Elliot Bennett tests Reina from range and the Spaniard pulls off a fine stop.

69. 52'

    From the resulting corner, Bradley Johnson loses Shelvey and heads just wide.

70. 52'

    Off the bar! The ball loops into the air in the Norwich box and Jonjo Shelvey's header rattles back off the crossbar.

71. 53'

    Gerrard, Suarez and Downing link-well together, with the England wide-man firing over the bar.

72. 54'

    More poor passing. This time Bradley Johnson looks to provide the killer ball and finds Henderson instead.

73. 55'

    Has to score! Fine play from Jose Enrique down the left who then fires a great low ball across goal for Jonjo Shelvey. But, the midfielder misses from a couple of yards out.

74. 56'

    Yet to score in the Premier League for Liverpool is Shelvey.

75. 57'

    A fortunate deflection falls to Steve Morison at the edge of the box, but his tame shot creeps wide. Corner anyway.

76. 58'

    No doing from the corner as Liverpool clear. Referee awards a free-kick.

77. 59'

    Elliot Bennett takes another swing at goal from 30 yards. Decent attempt, but started wide and went further away as it travelled.

78. 60'

    Good play by Downing to turn Kyle Naughton on the Liverpool right. Gets a shot away, but well saved by John Ruddy.

79. 61'

    A couple of chances in the last few minutes livens up proceedings somewhat.

80. 62'

    Long spell of possession in defence for Liverpool, until Carragher fires the ball long to the opposition.

81. 64'

    <b>Ridiculous miss!</b> Suarez is through one-on-one and instead of rolling the ball home, looks to chip the keeper and misses the chance for a hat-trick

83. 66'

    Liverpool well on-top once more now...

84. 66'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Vaughan</b> slides in late on Pepe Reina, who takes a risk whilst clearing the ball.

85. 67'

    Naughton looks to swing in a cross from deep on the Norwich left. Doesn't even make the area before being cleared by Carragher.

86. 68'

    Despite their lead and danger in attack, Liverpool don't look all that secure here at times.

87. 69'

    Suarez shows the other side to his game. Having harassed the defender into making a mistake, he is faced with a simple ball across the box to find Jonjo Shelvey. Yet, it is completely mishit.

88. 70'

    James Vaughan takes on an ambitious attempt for Norwich. Worth a try, but never threatening.

89. 71'

    Liverpool's wearing of white FA Cup final suits in 1996 is among the contenders for greatest FA Cup moments in an ESPN.<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ESPNTVUK/app_372841396092072" target="_blank">Vote for your favourite moments here.</a>

90. 72'

    Norwich looking to bring on Grant Holt to enliven proceedings.

91. 73'

    Liverpool have men over as they counter with the ball at the feet of Stewart Downing. He makes a mess of the situation, cutting inside and taking all the pace out of the move.

92. 74'

    What is that? Bradley Johnson swings in a left-footed cross, but it is dreadful. High, hopeful and straight to Pepe Reina.

93. 75'

    Fifteen minutes remaining now...

94. 76'

    Lovely stuff! Russell Martin crosses from the right to find James Vaughan, who rises high and heads just wide.

95. 77'

    Bellamy looks to run at right-back Martin, but the defender stands strong once more. He's done well since coming on.

96. 78'

    Liverpool now in possession. This is going nowhere very quickly.

97. 79'

    Liverpool with this result would move to within two points of City rivals Everton. FA Cup final next week of course.

98. 80'

    Suarez winning himself no friends at Carrow Road, appealing for a hand-ball that only he saw.

99. 81'

    Neither team able to keep possession once more...

100. 82'

     James Vaughan lines up a half-volley at goal, blocked by Jamie Carragher.

101. 82'

     <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> <b>Norwich 0-3 Liverpool Suarez beauty!!!</b>

102. 83'

     Norwich punished for yet another mistake. Only difference between the two sides has been Luis Suarez today

103. 85'

     <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Kuyt replaces Suarez. Coates for Gerrard.</b>

104. 86'

     Liverpool taking their time now. Understandably so.

105. 87'

     Suarez's last goal was sublime. About the only moment of the match that has.

106. 88'

     Norwich look to restore some pride, but they are struggling to break down Liverpool.

107. 89'

     Final couple of minutes of normal time and proceedings are grinding to a halt at Carrow Road.

108. 90'

     Two minutes added-time...

109. 90'

     Reina comes out to punch clear a Russell Martin cross.

110. 90'

     <b>FULL TIME</b> Norwich 0-3 Liverpool

111. Luis Suarez grabs a hat-trick to sink Norwich at Carrow Road in an otherwise uninspiring game.
