Launching the leanest Gameweek of the season so far, Norwich City welcome Manchester City to Carrow Road. The Canaries are in the midst of a dreadful run – having tasted defeat in eight of their previous nine match-ups – while the Sky Blues arrested their losing streak with a 4-0 rout of Aston Villa last time out.

Only Watford have notched fewer goals (two compared to three) over the last six Gameweeks than Alex Neil’s strugglers. Furthermore, Norwich chart joint-second-bottom for shots on target (nine) since Gameweek 26. On the defensive end, the Canaries arguably did well to concede just six goals across the last four Gameweeks, given that they were pitted against West Ham United, Leicester City and Chelsea. It’s also worth noting that they placed joint-third-bottom for big chances surrendered (four).

Man City’s attack has flattered to deceive on the road this term, mustering just two more goals than Aston Villa. Remarkably, only four sides have recorded fewer big chances than Manuel Pellegrini’s troops in away matches (15) – providing prospective Sergio Aguero captainers with food for thought. On the flip side, the Sky Blues place top for clean sheets (seven) and bottom for shots inside the box conceded (72) away from home soil.

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          It's Bony's fault.

          1. drughi
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Bony>sterling at half time

      5. AlCapwnUK

        9 years, 9 months ago

        After a quick flick through FPL discovery I couldn't see what the average number of starting players is this week. Anyone know?

        1. tambourineman
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          In the 10k it's 10.44 out of 12 (captains count as 2), overall it's 6.94

          1. AlCapwnUK
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Looks like 10.4/12 for top 10k and 6.9/12 overall

      10. Acquafresca
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Norwich are so sh!t even when they have a spell in the final third they still don't look like scoring.

      11. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Get Sterling on at half time... Please!

      12. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        0-0 with Kompany max baps would be magic.

        1. Gazpilicueta
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          5-0 with Sergio baps would be better

      13. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

      16. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Is it too late to organise a plane flyover with a banner about taking Bony off?

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          A little bit 🙂 . Relax it's only half time he could still do it in the second half .

          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          All good. Remember Villa 2nd half. He is still able to rack up a Hattie or better in quick succession!
