Jan Molby: Liverpool FC have cup final places up for grabs at Norwich City this weekend

LIVERPOOL FC go to Norwich City this weekend, and there should be plenty of incentive for Kenny Dalglish and his players to get a good result and put in a good performance.
The undeniable fact is that all eyes will be on Wembley and the FA Cup final with Chelsea. The Premier League is playing second fiddle now.
But with just two games before that game, there are undoubtedly places up for grabs.
Who is guaranteed a place in the line-up for the final? Steven Gerrard, Pepe Reina, Luis Suarez, Glen Johnson, Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger, I'd say.
That leaves five places up in the air, so performances at Carrow Road, and at home to Fulham on Tuesday, could be vital.
Norwich have done really well this season, and will present a tough test. I admit that I looked at their squad pre-season and felt that they would struggle. It looked a Championship squad to me.
But they have shown great improvement. They are a high-energy team who can pass the ball and score goals. They may be 13th, but they are only three points behind Liverpool. Paul Lambert deserves immense credit.
For Liverpool, the need is for momentum. There is no button you can press to turn form on and off, you can only do it through hard work and playing well. Kenny will be desperate to ensure both.
