Chelsea host Norwich this afternoon in a meeting of top against bottom in the Premier League.
Thomas Tuchel’s side lead Liverpool and Manchester City in the standings following back-to-back wins over Southampton and Brentford. There had been some concern over Chelsea’s performance levels, however, but the European champions clicked into gear with their 4-0 win against Malmo in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The victory came at a cost, though, with Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner suffering injuries and Tuchel confirming that both forwards are set to miss “some games”.
That could come as a boost to Norwich, who despite keeping clean sheets in their last two matches remain bottom of the Premier League table and are without a win this season.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match this afternoon.
