Chelsea v Norwich City: Predicted XI

After an impressive tactical display before the international break against Swansea, Norwich face a much tougher test in the form of a trip to Stamford Bridge. Usually playing the Premier League champions away from home is widely seen as, even in the most optimistic fan’s view, a pretty hopeless affair. However, the worst start to a title defence in Premier League history by Jose Mourinho’s side has made many City fans much more hopeful of getting a result. Norwich actually find themselves one point above Chelsea going into this game following the Blues defeat against Stoke last time out. But Alex Neil has proved he’s no mug at this elite level of management, and will be fully aware of the array of international talent his side will be up against. It will take the perfect team selection to give us a chance of getting something out of this fixture, regardless of Chelsea’s poor form.
