Competition: England Premier League
Competition: Tue 14.July
Match begins: 19:15 (UTC)
Venue: Stamford Bridge (41798 seats)

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Chelsea fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Norwich City's 20th place in the table will show on the pitch.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Norwich are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.

Chelsea form and stats

When playing at home in the Premier League, Chelsea have managed 9 wins, 3 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 17 games. After failing to beat Manchester United here at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

No payout for Chelsea in their previous match, an away game at Sheffield United that ended in defeat 0-3. In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Crystal Palace.

Chelsea are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Stamford Bridge with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. four earlier games are comparable to this one, and Chelsea has won three times, drawn one and lost zero. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Chelsea has won by at least two goals three times when in this position.

The Chelsea fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 27 goals in 17 league matches. Chelsea have only conceded 16 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Norwich City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Norwich City, who have the most conceded goals (67) in Premier League, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-13 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row. Norwich are generally in trouble as the list of consecutive losses is growing into an ugly monster. Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost seven in a row. It's been 19 weeks since they last avoided defeat. (The Leicester City game.)

The manager D. Farke was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Carrow Road. Norwich suffered a 0-4 loss to West Ham United (placed 16th). A 1-2 defeat away at Watford before that.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against West Ham United was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Nobody expects Norwich City to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath ten times before, with the overall statistics of won five, draw three and lost two. When defeated, one match have been lost by two or more goals.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Burnley in just four days.

Norwich are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 7 goals from 17 away games. In the opposite end, Norwich have conceded 32 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Norwich City - Chelsea 2-3. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Chelsea, four draws and zero wins for Norwich City. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
