Norwich vs Chelsea prediction: How will Premier League clash at Carrow Road play out?

Norwich City host Chelsea in the lunchtime kick-off in the Premier League with Daniel Farke’s side eyeing up an upset.

With Frank Lampard’s Blues yet to find the right balance between their new, attack-minded style and limiting their vulnerability at the back and in midfield, the Canaries are live underdogs.

Teemu Pukki’s hat-trick last week earned Norwich their first points of the campaign as they bid to stay up following promotion.

While Leicester City pegged back the Blues at Stamford Bridge last week to keep Lampard waiting for that elusive victory.

Here is our prediction for the match at Carrow Road.

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
