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.

      Probably tired. He was playing very deep today so did a lot more running.

          Everything has gone through Deloufeu the last couple of games, although Lukaku squanders 80% of the chances created.

      Someone while doing the team sheets may have forgotten that the FFS account doesn't tend to reply.

      And someone may have forgotten the tweets go on the main page of the site.

      And someone may have now deleted the Tweets.

      And someone might get fired by Mark....

        Saysarun will get fired?! 😯

        RIP Kolarov. I've been waiting patiently for this day after selling him weeks ago.

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years

          Now he'll play a bunch in a row.

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

            Expect City to keep their first clean sheet in ages

          2. Gianfranco Zola
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Nah. He'll be rotated heavily like every season before

            1. Billy Gilmore
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              He's been well ahead of Clichy in the pecking order for a while now, even when fit.

              1. Gianfranco Zola
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

                That is not true though. Only Pellegrini knows and I suspect there is no clear favourite

                1. Billy Gilmore
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 5 months ago

                  Well of course we don't know for sure, but there's a reason Kolarov started the last 7 matches last season while Clichy was fit.

        2. Duke Silver ☑
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          He'll probably come off the bench to score a screamer of a free-kick now.

          1. Gianfranco Zola
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

            Or miss a penalty

          • 14 Years

          Maybe the perfect excuse to sell him then..

        He'll come on for the last 5 minutes knowing my luck.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          • 16 Years

          You have to expect he will come on.. Don't build hopes

        3. Mainoo Magic
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          All depends on the way the game goes, if city are winning easily he won't play him, he will only come on if they need to score imo.

      15. Bøwstring The Carp

        I've honestly no idea what's happened with regards to Saysarun or FFS tweets.

          Basically I was doing the team sheets for the FFS account.

          I replied to 3 tweets without using #ffscomm and it put the tweet on the main page. I've now deleted the tweets so they aren't on the ffs.co.uk home page

          Nothing interesting 🙂

          In my opinion , Pellegrini think SWA is a walkover and is giving Clichy a 'warm-up' match , so that he can play against Arsenal better next week

              Stokes XI on paper looks brilliant, now they're clicking, that solid, tough defence and engine room mids with the classy attackers is looking a great mixture for the Premier League
