Anyone worried about today? Not any significant changes in the line=up, so I am confident. Some stats I found on GOAL, sorry if already posted:



  • Norwich lost their first match in 11 games against West Brom on Saturday, ending their longest sequence without defeat in the top-flight since March 1987.
  • Only the two Manchester clubs, United (11) and City (10), have scored more goal from set-pieces than Norwich (9).
  • Grant Holt has committed 44 fouls this season, the joint most in the league, while only one player, Everton’s Nikica Jelavic (29), has been caught offside more times than Holt (24).
  • The Canaries have scored three goals from direct free-kicks, the joint-most in the league alongside Chelsea.
  • Norwich have not beaten the Blues since 10 December 1994; in the five meetings between the two sides since then, the Blues have averaged 2.8 goals per game.
  • Chelsea’s 8-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday, which equalled their highest ever league win, was only their second victory in their last nine league games.
  • The west London club became the first side to have seven different scorers in one match in the Premier League era when they hammered the Villans. Chelsea are 11/1 to win 3-0 with William Hill.
  • Branislav Ivanovic (pictured right) is the Premier League’s topscoring defender, with four goals this season (making him the Blues’ joint-third highest scorer in the league).
  • Chelsea have received more yellow cards for diving (4) than any other team in the Premier League.
  • The Blues have scored from the penalty spot five times this season, the most in the league, while Norwich are yet to be awarded a spot-kick.

Really worried about set pieces, after reading this.

I`d personally prefered Luiz as CB and Rambo in the pivot. Cahill gives me goosebumps (although he was awesome in UCL)...

I maybe would have played rambo with david luiz but tbh i wouldn't consider moving David Luiz. He has found a position that he is doing well in so far and until that changes he would be one of my starting 2 in the pivot. When JT comes back he will take Cahill's place and then we have azpi ivan terry cole luiz and lamps/rambo/mikel which would be a pretty strong lineup for me.

He will play at Everton, I believe it. He just can't play every game, especially when there is just three days off between the games.

He was subbed after 60 mins, I doubt he's stamina-wise that bad that he can't start this game too. I hope you're right but the last few months have shown some depressing tendencies...

Win and clean sheet please

In an ideal world yes, but i would take the 3 points in any way they come as one or hopefully more than one of our direct rivals could drop some points and keeping the winning momentum would be extremely ideal and hopefully get closer to the manchester clubs and pull away from the main pack trying for at least fourth.

He can't play every game. For god's sake, he deserves a break. Plus Oscar was overdue a start and Moses couldn't be dropped because he's in good form.
