Gameweek 14 reaches its apogee with a pair of intriguing mid-afternoon match-ups. Liverpool look to build on their head-turning triumph at the Etihad when Swansea City pay a visit, while Norwich City host an Arsenal outfit that will be determined to bounce back from their home defeat to West Brom.
The Reds’ attack has kicked into life under Jurgen Klopp and ranks joint-top over the last four Gameweeks for attempts (67) and shots inside the box (44). Moreover, no side managed more key passes (55) than the Merseysiders during that period. As for the Swans, they place fourth-bottom for attempts (36), having drawn blanks in two of their previous three outings. Garry Monk’s beleaguered outfit has flattered to deceive at the back, too, conceding nine big chances since Gameweek 10.
The Canaries have battened down the hatches in response to their 6-2 mauling at the hands of Newcastle United in Gameweek 9, conceding just four goals in as many fixtures. However, goals (two in four) have not been forthcoming, with the Norfolk outfit also ranking second-bottom for attempts (34). The Gunners will feel they have enough firepower to break Norwich’s resistance, considering they amassed more big chances (14) than any side over the last four Gameweeks.
