Norwich have a very tough task as they face Chelsea in the Premier League and we have all the key information you need to know ahead of kick off.
The game is a huge one for both sides. Norwich need a win to help them in their battle against relegation, whilst victory for Chelsea would help them in their battle to finish in the top four in the division.
With so much at stake for both sides, this upcoming match will most likely be nervy, but we should see a fair few goals.
Last time the two met, Chelsea emphatically won the fixture 7-0, but no doubt the Canaries will be a lot more compact under Dean Smith.
