Chelsea travel to Norwich City this lunchtime looking for their first win under Frank Lampard.

The Canaries picked up their first win since returning to the top flight, sweeping Newcastle aside last week off the back of Teemu Pukki’s hat-trick.

Leicester City denied the Blues last weekend with Wilfred Ndidi’s header, before the Foxes wasted chances late on to take all three points. Follow it live:

Prediction

This is far from easy for Chelsea, who will be desperate for a victory in any way, shape or form.

Norwich will be flying and the defensive vulnerabilities will not have disappeared for Chelsea.

If N’Golo Kante is injured, a home win looks well and truly on, but if he can play some part, score draw.

Our prediction: Norwich 2-2 Chelsea
