Chelsea team confirmed at Norwich City: N'Golo Kante out, Tammy Abraham starts

Chelsea take on Norwich City this afternoon in the early kick off as they search for their first three points of the Premier League campaign.

The Blues have had a difficult start to the 2019/20 season, with a 4-0 hammering to Manchester United on the opening weekend and then being held 1-1 by Leicester City last Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Canaries got their campaign up and running last weekend as Teemu Pukki scored an impressive hat-trick to earn his side a 3-1 win over Newcastle United.

While the Blues have decent record at Carrow Road, the Blues will be keen to turn performances into goals with just one out the 32 shots so far finding the back of the net.

N'Golo Kante was the big injury doubt for the match after Frank Lampard confirmed that he had suffered an ankle sprain over the past week.

Meanwhile, Antonio Rudiger is still not available as the Blues are careful not to rush him back from his knee injury picked up last season.

Here is the full Chelsea starting XI to take on the Canaries this afternoon:

Chelsea: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Christensen, Emerson; Jorginho, Kovacic; Pulisic, Mount, Pedro; Abraham.

Subs: Caballero, Tomori, Alonso, Barkley, Willian, Giroud, Batshuayi.
