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).

    Honestly think Moreno is still a great shout. Gets forward so often and puts in so many crosses, just unlucky not to have produced attacking returns. Obviously been disappointing returns wise the last few months but I'm glad to have him in my team. I'm sure the cleanies/attacking returns will come over the next dew weeks

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

      I think at this stage of the season, overall points, or points per appearance, don't really lie

      1. Davidinho
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I would ask why everyone is talking about getting rid of mahrez then. His ppg is incredible

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sure he's just been unlucky for 15 odd weeks. Just keep him
