Saturday’s opening fixture Norwich City against Everton at Carrow Road. The Canaries go in search of just their second win in 11 matches, while the Toffees could stretch out their unbeaten streak to six with a result in Norfolk.

Despite turning out strong performances in their previous two home clashes, Norwich have struggled in attack over the last four Gameweeks, ranking second-bottom for goals (two), third-bottom for attempts (27) and bottom for shots inside the box (14). That being said, Alex Neil will draw encouragement from the fact they conceded just four goals during that period and claimed their first clean sheet of the campaign.

No team racked up more goals (nine) than Everton across the last four Gameweeks. Furthermore, they charted joint-second for shots on target (23), as they continue to profit from a favourable schedule. Although the Merseysiders restricted their opponents to four big chances, only four teams conceded more shots inside the box (33) – which paints a different picture in regards to their shut-out prospects.

    1. bodgejob
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Solution: Delle Alli

  6. Sif
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

  7. Rhinos
    • 12 Years

      Not good news. I kept switching the armband between Ozil and De Bruyne, and unfortunately it ended up on De Bruyne. 🙁

      Now I have to hope that Kolarov and De Bruyne stay on the bench (or come off it very early) and that Liverpool keep a clean sheet if Skrtel and Clyne have to come off my bench.

      1. Paracelsus
        • 15 Years

    1. Rhinos

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      KDB isn't really a captaincy option.

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago
