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.

    JK: “We have Benteke, Origi and Firmino. We also have Ingsy, but he’s not available at the moment. It’s a situation I can work with.”

    1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

  5. Numb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    KDB is bound to come on
    Kolarov far less likely

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    All of a sudden with Gibson and cleverly in midfield, Everton look quite ordinary

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed, some very strange decisions

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

    "Gibson can hit them" according to the BT Sport commentator.

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      he can, just ommitted the fact that when he does 99% of the time over the bar.

  14. DJDave1979
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Bit of an up and down start. Have Deulofeu and Lukaku so looks like being huge. Now not. Captain is DeBruyne...

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

      Who's your vice? Just on the off chance...

      1. DJDave1979
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Hazard... Thought it was Lukaku but just checked.

    2. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      But I did have a fiver on a draw so that's not a bad start really.

  15. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Am I just this bad at this last week Sturridge (c) this week kdb (c)..

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years

      No. You are just having a run of bad luck. It will turn.

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

        Had my luck at the beginning of the season I guess

    3. 50 Shades Oshea

      in the same boat mate, it hurts- feel like an idiot though as said to people kdb will not play whole game and still captained

  16. boredjames
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    What chance KDB staying on that bench? 25%?

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

      If that

    2. ralfb
      • 11 Years

    3. Davido989

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

    5. chinmusic
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      If City are 2 or 3 up after 60 mins I dint see why he'd come on.

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

        Don't

  17. Jax

    1-1 ft.

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

        cool

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Not as impressive when you give multiple predictions.

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Agree. But with all that Lukaku chances... maybe the fair result should've been 1-2.

  18. Grounderz
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    So... City is going to have fun without... you guys. 😆

  19. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Everton should have had that game wrapped up in the first half.

  20. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years

    baps for lukaku?

    1. Jax

  21. Rhinos
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      So dissapointing.

      better than Bournemouth. Better than Palace. And better than norwich.

      Credit to all those teams for battling. Gutted not to be in a much better position.

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

    Everton drawn half their games.

  23. Eden Hazardous

    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Everton - perennial under-achievers - 3 'easy' fixtures and get 3 points out of 9

    1. The Raging Bull
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Someone earlier said Martinez should be getting credit, clearly didn't see the last 2 Everton results!!

  30. The Raging Bull
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Everton 3 draws from last 3 games.

    Oh Martinez...
