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).

      Was set to go for Hennessy but seems one more error and he's out. Which takes the p*** as I've already sold one Palace GK this season after being dropped.

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

  22. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Until that second goal I would have agreed. Classy finish.

      2. pedro-tacuara
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        He has been looking very good in the past 3 games,but he will be easy to shut down if Liverpool doesnt have more presence in the box.

      3. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Sure he does.

    • Shrimp On The Barb
      • 11 Years

      MORENO PLEASE GIVE US SOMETHING

    • Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      All of us thought of getting Firmino this week and only a few of us did. No need to air your views of what could have been. Look at what you are going to do for next week rather.

    • Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Foster injury before the 30th minute? Please, one time.

    • Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      The problem with Moreno is that he's very poor at football.

    • Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I was so close to buying Firmino it hurts, moral of the story: have some guts and don't be afraid of KDB

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Mahrez > firmino a glorious move 🙂
