Norwich will come face to face with their worst nightmare at Liverpool - Luis Suarez.
The Uruguayan assassin was on fire in both meetings last season when the Anfield giants put 10 goals past the Canaries - five away and again at home - and also scored a hat-trick against them in April 2012.
It
means Suarez has scored more goals at Carrow Road than any player in
the Norwich squad for Wednesday night's clash, apart from Wes Hoolahan!
But manager Chris Hughton insists the Norfolk side have no hang-ups about facing their nemesis again.
He said: "Despite what you might think, as far as I know there is no psychological damage. ...and another in a 5-2 win there in September last year

"He is obviously a real handful, but there will be no fear about facing Luis Suarez.
"After
all, it's not just the Norwich defence that has suffered at his hands,
it's everybody. But we know we will have to defend well because Suarez
is a threat every time he plays. He's a fantastic footballer." High five: Suarez scored once in January as Liverpool beat Norwich 5-0

Midfielder Jonny Howson said: "You learn from every game, win
lose or draw. And one thing we have learned from our games against
Liverpool is to watch Luis Suarez!
"You know he is a top player
and you talk before games about how to stop him. But it's one thing
talking about it, and another thing actually going out and doing it."
