Chelsea will look to continue their strong Premier League form and pile further misery on Norwich when the teams meet at Carrow Road tonight.

After a difficult December and January, the Blues have won three league games in a row - including Saturday’s 4-0 win away at Burnley.

It has seen Thomas Tuchel’s side strengthen their grip on third place ahead of a resurgent Arsenal, while Norwich’s slim survival hopes have been hit by a run of four straight defeats.

Saturday’s 3-0 home defeat to Brentford was a further blow and left Dean Smith’s side at the foot of the table with games running out to produce an unlikely escape.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match this evening.

When is Norwich vs Chelsea?

The match will kick off at 7:30pm BST on Thursday 10 March.
