Jürgen Klopp's FA Cup press conference: Norwich tie, resilience and youngsters' growth

Q&AJürgen Klopp's FA Cup press conference: Norwich tie, resilience and youngsters' growthJürgen Klopp is looking forward to coming up against close friend David Wagner and his Norwich City side in the Emirates FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.

The clash with the Canaries will be Liverpool’s 450th match in the FA Cup. They have won 240 games, lost 113 and drawn 96.

The Reds are three goals short of recording 750 in the competition.

Liverpool have won two Anfield meetings with Norwich in the FA Cup and then gone on to lift the trophy at the end of that season (1986 and 2022).

The Reds have won 16 and drawn two of the last 18 meetings between the sides in all competitions since losing at Anfield in April 1994, scoring 55 times in the process.

Curtis Jones, with 14, has made more appearances for Liverpool in the FA Cup than any other current player.

Jürgen Klopp will be aiming to extend a run that has seen him win all seven previous meetings with Norwich as Liverpool manager.

The Reds have scored in 42 of the last 43 matches they have played.

The teams have met only once before on this date, playing out a 0-0 draw at Carrow Road in 1990.

Conor Bradley and Kaide Gordon both made their senior Reds debuts against Norwich, in the 3-0 League Cup win at Carrow Road in September 2021.

Gordon is Liverpool’s youngest ever FA Cup goalscorer – he was 17 years and 96 days old when he netted against Shrewsbury Town in 2022.

Klopp’s men have lost only one of their last 62 domestic games at Anfield in league and cup – versus Leeds United in October 2022.

In round three, Norwich beat Bristol Rovers in a replay in which they came from behind to win, with Gabriel Sara, Adam Idah (penalty) and Kenny McLean all on target.

After a run of one victory in 10, the Canaries have won eight of their last 16 fixtures.
