How to watch Chelsea vs Norwich City on TV and is it free on Sky Pick

Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from Saturday's dismal 3-0 defeat to Sheffield United when they welcome Norwich City to Stamford Bridge this evening.

The Blues suffered their second defeat in their last four league outings against Chris Wilder's side, as goals from David McGoldrick (2) and Oli McBurnie sealed a historic win for the home side, who were full value for their three-point haul.

From a Chelsea perspective, though, it will have left head coach Frank Lampard with plenty to think about ahead of the final three games of the Premier League season.

But the Blues cannot afford to dwell on Saturday's performance as they need to make a return to winning ways when they welcome already-relegated Norwich to Stamford Bridge tonight.

Chelsea v Norwich: Frank Lampard preview press conference

The Canaries were relegated back to the Championship at the first time of asking on Saturday, with a 4-0 home defeat to West Ham United proving to be the final nail in the coffin.

And in truth, this evening's clash against the Canaries is a must-win game for Chelsea. The Blues were in great danger of dropping out of the top-four over the weekend, but Leicester City's shock 4-1 defeat away to Bournemouth and Manchester United's 2-2 draw with Southampton on Monday evening ensured Chelsea stayed in third, meaning a win for Lampard's troops against Norwich would move them four points clear of Leicester.

However, if Chelsea do manage to tighten their grip on the top-four this evening, their supporters will not be there to witness it, of course, with all games between now and the end of the campaign being ordered to be played behind-closed-doors, meaning fans will have to watch it from home or at the local pub.

But what do you need to know about the clash at Stamford Bridge this evening? We have outlined all of the key details you need right here.

What time is kick-off between Chelsea and Norwich?

This evening's clash between Chelsea and the Canaries, who will arrive in West London with a record of just one away win in the Premier League all season, gets underway at 8:15pm, which has become a normal kick-off time for an evening game in midweek since the season resumed last month.

Chelsea vs Norwich TV channel and live stream details

The Blues' showdown with Daniel Farke's side will be screened live on both Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.

Though the game gets underway at 8:15pm, the coverage begins at 8:00pm on both channels.

The coverage following the full-time whistle is due to finish at 10:45pm.

Ahead of the Premier League campaign resuming last month, Sky Sports announced that they would show 25 of their remaining Premier League matches live on their Sky Pick channel for free, but unfortunately this is not one of those fixtures, meaning anyone without a paid Sky subscription will not be able to watch the action unfold.

Team news

The Blues, who know a victory this evening could go a long way in determining whether or not they will be in the Champions League next season, will be without midfield enforcer N'Golo Kante once again as he continues to battle hit way back from a hamstring problem.

Defender Andreas Christensen is expected to be available for selection, despite having been forced off against the Blades on Saturday.

The Blues have no other fresh problems, meaning their only absentees remain Fikayo Tomori, Billy Gilmour and Marco van Ginkel.

Norwich, meanwhile, will be without midfielder Ondrej Duda after he returned to parent club Hertha Berlin early following his loan spell at Carrow Road.

Elsewhere, boss Farke will be without Moritz Leitner (hernia), Grant Hanley, Christoph Zimmermann and Sam Byram, all of whom are nursing hamstring problems.

Odds

Chelsea are priced at 1/8 with the bookmakers to register all three points.

Norwich are at 20/1 to register a shock win and a draw is set at 17/2.
