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.

      1. Jammy Dodger
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Not sure I want him to be, need to downgrade him to get ozil in a nice 5 man midfield

  6. JedJez
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Even though I have myhill I played Dawson over Moreno - not watching the game - is it looking like a 0-0?

      • 10 Years

      1-0 Liverpool, looks like that.

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    This is very similar to last week vs WBA from Arsenal

  9. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Why did we buy Bellerin again??

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Assists

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

    3. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years

    4. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Attacking full back for a decent team?

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          That's Liverpool!

    5. Stephen - Robot Daniels
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      You'll see in the second half when he crosses in for another Ozil goal.

  10. Exeter Gently
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    get your sh1t together arsene. cant help but think all this game hinges upon is whether he can sort out his zipper.

  11. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    That Nor goal cost me 6 pts!! Damn it!!

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years

    2. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Maths is not your strong point.

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          2 Arsenal mids and 1 defender 😕

        2. chinmusic
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Four lost for a defender, 1 each for the two midfielders.

        3. Zizoulicious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Defender + 2*midfielder = 6 cs points

        4. Hypnos
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Bellerin -4 Alexis -1 Ozil -1

        5. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          2 people here are not good at maths

    4. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

    5. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

    6. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

        1. JedJez
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          All fingers crossed for this

    11. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Why not bring in Courtois then? Two birds one stone?

        1. FALCAO & MOU
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          May do as well, just that attacking potential.

    12. Cak Juris
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      A. Ayew to Barkley

    14. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      CSs are rare this days. Is it time to go bargain bin defence?

      1. King Kav. QC at law
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Mignolet, Azpi and Aldi done just fine for me.

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          This GW, yes. Mignolets and Azpis returns has been very poor.

          1. King Kav. QC at law
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Got Azpi last week, it's all good.

      2. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        So unpredictable. Traditionally that changes in the new year though so might as well hold now

      3. JedJez
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Might be my plan after Christmas

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          See above

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

    16. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Bellerin beginning to look overpriced in my team.

      1. King Kav. QC at law
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Chill, Sunderland next.

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

      3. Costa in Wengerland
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Sunderland probably score since no Koscielny or Coquelin.

    19. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      1. Hooky
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

    20. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Ozil leading the baps at least

    21. Sif
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I love this new Ladbrokes jokes app, at half time it send you jokes like 'Giroud to score next'.
