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).

    Congrats to Norwich for signing Naismith. Great football player and human being.

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

      Why is he a great human being?

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

        He's not he's a frigging scumbag.

      2. Murph1
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        He does a lot of charitable work in the community. Probably more than any other footballer

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

          Good stuff. Always nice to hear. It's the least these players should be doing.

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

          Naismith probably does more charity work that any other footballer.

          Ridiculous statement.

          But he would need to do it helps absolve himself of the sins of nearly breaking someone's leg every match the dirty goutrel.

    The commentator on my stream just said it was surprising Benteke wasn't being readied in any sense. He clearly has never seen Tekkers play.

      They need goals and he's capable of scoring them.
