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.

        He holds his hip, but there wasn't any contact in the duel he got injured in

    It never ends, year after year. Would love to know if we actually get more injuries than other teams or if it just feels that way.

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Actually Manchester City get more injuries.

      1. Big Sum
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Are you sure?

        1. Every Dog Has Its Day
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Both on 6 but Bournemouth (12) Everton (7) Liverpool (8) Manchester United (8) Newcastle (8)

          1. Big Sum
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Well, if we are talking only for this season, ok

        2. tm245
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          You would need to judge severity as well, but that is a good perspective.

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think so. Just Wenger doesn't get enough cover in place so it seems worse.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Good point, it might be the lack of depth more than the amount itself that I am noticing.

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      It doesn't help that you have about 10 fantastic attacking midfielders but no depth at centre half, defensive mid or up top.

    Will Gabriel get CS points if he plays more than 60 mins?

    1. Kaki Tido
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yup

    2. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years

      Yes

      1. EmreCan Hustle

        Awesome! Cheers guys.

    3. funnyoldgame
      • 16 Years

      yes

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yes - assuming that Arsenal don't concede!

  24. Kaki Tido
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Can Arsenal just sack their whole medical team? How come their squad can be so fragile.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Deja vu.

  25. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Koscielny off with CS intact

    1. Declan
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      😎

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Baps?

  26. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Kosc off and Arsenal will keep a clean sheet. That will probably happen

  27. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Not a great display so far from Arenal

  28. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Is this going to ve another borefest? :/

  29. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years

    I can't be the only one who'd love a Norwich win today

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      you and all the other new City fans

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Correct.

      I'd take a guess that most Norwich fans want a canaries win too.

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      You're not. I'll take 5-4 as long as Ozil and Sanchez are involved in all Arsenal goals.

  30. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez (C) peeps getting nervous already?!

    1. Sjaugen

      More worried if I had the donkey. Haven't seen him at all
