Chelsea vs. Norwich – Match Preview 6/10/2012

Venue and Timings

The match kicks off at 15.00 BST (19.00 PST 19.30 IST) at Stamford Bridge.

Team Form

Chelsea

With this kind of team and formation being suitable for Roberto di Matteo, he is unlikely to change this team. He is not the kind of person who prefers (or has been preferring) rotating his team.

Terry will get to play the match before he has to sit on the side due to his ban.

Daniel Sturridge will still be on the bench due to his hamstring injury.

Norwich

Chris Hughton will be making a few changes to his team after they got thrashed by Liverpool.

Michael Turner had caused Liverpool to score two goals and he could be punished by being sidelined. His place could be taken by Sebastien Bassong if he recovers from his injury. This means Bassong’s feature might be doubtful.

Holt had scored for Norwich when they were in distress last week so he could play his part in the team.

Recent Meetings

Norwich will be under much pressure playing the away match.

What to expect?

You may expect Chelsea to play a relaxed game. They would be pretty sure they could perform better than Norwich would and so you will be seeing them winning with a decent goal difference.

My prediction: 3 – 1 to Chelsea.
