This weekend's early kick off sees two teams who could really use a win pitted against each other after disappointing results last time around.Last weekend, both teams found themselves beaten by rivals close by them in the table. Norwich were soundly beaten 3-0 by Bournemouth, possible relegation rivals and a side who you should look to be beating if you want to stay up. On top of the three goals conceded, that defeat made it three defeats in a row for the Canaries, as Alex Neil's side find themselves only two points above the Premier League relegation zone, in serious danger of returning to the depths from whence they came.Liverpool, meanwhile, dominated the game against their bitter rivals Manchester United only to see a sucker punch goal deprive them of points at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp's side have been depleted by injuries over the last few weeks, possibly a symptom of running too much over the busy Christmas period, but whatever the reason, the Reds haven't managed to win yet in 2016, and find themselves eight points off a Champions League spot.Here are all the stats you need to know ahead of Liverpool's trip to Norwich!

Forgone conclusion

Liverpool have won nine and lost none of the last 11 Barclays Premier League meetings with Norwich City.

Picking up form

Norwich City are unbeaten in the last five Premier League games at Carrow Road (W3 D2), keeping clean sheets in all three victories and conceding just once in each of the two draws.

Off Target

Only Aston Villa (10.2%) have scored with a lower proportion of their shots in the Premier League this season than Liverpool (10.3%).

Fear of crosses

Norwich have conceded a league-high 14 goals from crosses in the Premier League this season.

History Repeating

Norwich City have exactly the same record after 22 games that they did in their last Premier League season (2013-14, in which they were relegated) - W6 D5 L11 and 23 points.
