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).
