  • 37'
    Zouma heads wide from the resulting corner.

    The closest we have come to a goal. Pulisic turns and gets a shot away but Krul gets a touch to it and it hits the bar and goes for a corner. A very good save.
  • 35'
    Norwich will be pleased with their performance so far, but they do have nothing to play for. Praying for pride.

    Literally just the one chance that we've had, but Chelsea are all over Norwich.

    Look who is here.
  • PRVW
    Last time Chelsea lost to Norwich was in 1994. They last lost at home in 1993.
  • PRVW
    Chelsea have got a tough run in after this with an away match at Anfield and then Wolves to come to the Bridge.
  • PRVW
    I don't see anything other than a Chelsea win here as Norwich have nothing to play for. In theory, seven teams are fighting are fighting for two remaining spaces, but after the results this gamweek then Tottenham, Arsenal, and Burnley could be out the race for Champions League qualification.
  • PRVW
    Norwich XI: Krul, Aarons, Godfrey, Klose, Lewis, Tettey, Hernandez, McLean, Rupp, Cantwell, Drmic.
  • PRVW
    Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Zouma, Alonso, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Kovacic, Willian, Giroud, Pulisic.
