Norwich have a great chance to get closer to the European places in the Premier League when they take on Chelsea.
Norwich have a very good record at home this season and only a few sides have left Norwich with their pride in tact. The side will be full of confidence at the moment following an away win at West Bromwich Albion in a match that could have gone either way. Norwich have a passionate set of home supporters who will be loud and should inspire the side. Norwich look decent bet at 5/1 with most bookies to win.
Chelsea have been a little inconsistent for a long period of time and Norwich presents a great chance for them to get their away form back on track. Chelsea are a brilliant side at times and very frustrating at others. It is very important they get a win from this game because they are quickly losing touch with all of the sides currently dominating the title race. Chelsea are odds on at 4/7 with most of the market.
Norwich like to play a brand of football which is brilliant for the neutral to watch. Norwich get the ball down and pass it around with a lot of venom which also makes them difficult to break down. The emphasis is going to be on Norwich to attack in this game and they should just about have enough to break through the Chelsea defence. A 2-1 home win is 18s with Paddy Power and 188bet.
Chelsea have played in many matches like this in the recent history of the club and they will be fully prepared for the Norwich challenge. It is quite likely that the away side in this game will sit back and soak up the pressure before unleashing a series of counter attacks in the hope of scoring some goals. It’s also important that Chelsea use the ball well when they have lots of possession. A 2-0 away win is 8/1 with William Hill.
Steve Morison has been playing out of his skin in a Norwich shirt and he will be high on confidence after he bagged the winner in the last match. Morison has a big physical presence which will be vital to a side that may be forced to knock the ball long at times during this game. Morison is also very good in the air which makes him a weapon at set pieces.
Fernando Torres needs a goal badly because he is not cutting the happiest figure in a Chelsea shirt. Torres is still waiting for the run of goals which once made him one of the most feared strikers in Europe. The Spaniard is struggling because the system Chelsea play dos not suit his game. However, he is a professional and he needs to pick up a couple of goals to take the pressure of the rest of his teammates.
