The starter pistol is fired for Gameweek 23 as Norwich City try to keep pace with Liverpool at Carrow Road. The Canaries are unbeaten in five match-ups on home turf, while the Reds tasted victory just twice across their previous eight fixtures.

Although Norwich head into this clash off the back of successive road defeats, they won their previous two home ties by an aggregate of 3-0. In fact, only three sides have conceded fewer home goals (10) than the Norfolk outfit this term, highlighting their defensive diligence at Carrow Road. That being said, only two teams have accrued fewer goals on familiar soil (12) than Alex Neil’s men, which will be music to the ears of Fantasy managers who’ve recruited from the visitors’ defence.

Despite ranking top for attempts (81) over the last four Gameweeks, the Merseysiders mustered just four goals and 17 shots on target, engendering the league’s worst shot accuracy (21%) and third-worst shot-conversion rate (4.9%). At the other end of the pitch, Jurgen Klopp’s charges surrendered the joint-fifth-most shots inside the box (33). With regards to their form in road matches, Liverpool have managed just a goal a game (11), despite placing fourth for attempts (148).

    That goal came down Moreno's side, he could be out of the team if Jurgen gets active in the transfer window

    1. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Thats true it did, but if you actually had a clue, youd notice that Naismith runs away from Emre Can and that it wasnt Morenos fault.

  9. Van der Faart

    If Liverpool have got a DGW you would really have to think about putting more than 1 player from them in your team.

      😐

    2. Greenbackbøøg…

      Maybe buy players from teams Liverpool play, would get you more points

  10. Bøwstring The Carp

    Stream lagged, came back and it was 2-1 Norwich 😯

    Wow

  11. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Liverpool team is barely top 6 let alone higher

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yep yep yep. It's okay though, they have Klopp who's up there with guardiola and simeone

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        😆 demi banter yessss

      2. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Simeone, really? Hes not deserving of that kind of praise.

        1. Demí
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I dunno, topplling real and barca was an incredible feat. But point was, certain people were comparing Klopp to the likes of these managers and i don't think that hype is warranted

          1. TeamSteam
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            It was an incredible feat. Benitez did that too for the first time in many years with Valencia, and he doesnt get recognition. Simeone has managed for what, 4 years now? He doesnt deserve that kind of hype either. Klopp did extremely well given the circumstances of Dortmund, and he was probably by far the best candidate we could ever get given the state of the football club, but i would agree with you that hes not on the level as Guardiola. Then again, not many are, if any.

    Benching Kane and bringing in Naismith is looking genius at the moment.

        1. TeamSteam
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

    I think I ditched the wrong defender and kept Moreno,
