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.

    Sanchez to Hazard is tempting.

  3. JJO

    If there is any normal Arsenal reporter he should blame Arsene and only him for all those injuries
    Its not an accident
    Why the FAK wouldnt you sub Alexis on half time vs faking Dinamo Zagreb and rest him?!
    No play him for 90mins
    FAking idiot

    I think hand ball in the penalty area should be an auto YC.

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 15 Years

      not a bottle of champers and a lap dance?

  7. MountainBeach
    • 14 Years

    Both Kos and Sanchez injured, for me. Tremendous luck, eh

  8. FPL Daniel

    Wenger overplayed him. He is the no 1 to be blamed for all this injuries to Arsenal!!!

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I blame you.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Me too.

  9. Declan

    What a save Cech

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    My watch said 60:05, he'll get his extra point, no dramas....

  13. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Some save that

  14. Costa in Wengerland
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    C'mon Ozil 1 more please

  15. Sif
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez out will probably dent Ozil's output somewhat.

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Possibly yeah. They've been linking brilliantly.

    2. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Özil will miss Sanchez's runs that frees up other Arsenal players to pick out for Özil.

  16. TorresMagic™

  24. Jay_

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah. Hard to buy at the price, even with those damn fixtures

  25. RÏɠBY
    • 15 Years

    cech you hero

  26. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    why so much love for Hazard ? 😯

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Because he didn't score but looked like maybe he might at some place sometime in the future perhaps.

      Congratulations on your engagement

  28. pablo discobar

    Sanchez to Silva or Cout and Delefaeu to Barkley?

    Or could do Silva to anyone price wise, just kinda want Barkley in. Don`t own KDB

  29. DJDave1979

    If Sanchez out confirmed (and it looked very much like it will be), I am seriously thinking of taking a Hazard punt. He looked at least willing today and Bournemouth are not looking like a Premier League team.

    1. La Décima Chaser
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I think he looked really good today. I know he didn't score, but he was getting into the correct positions!

  30. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Might be stupid question is Barkley consistant enough being third midfielder?
