The eyes of the world will doubtless be watching after the U.K. government froze Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's assets — including the football club — due to his links to the Russian regime. The game will still go ahead, but the situation will surely have an effect on the players and indeed the atmosphere in the stadium.
This was already a very important game; Chelsea are in a good place to take third place in the table, but a poor run of form could still see them caught. Norwich, meanwhile, just need points from anywhere.
Norwich’s hopes of a miraculous Premier League survival push were dealt a hammer blow last week after the side surrendered to Brentford in a crucial fixture. It was billed as a relegation six-pointer, but you’d hardly have known it from how dispirited the Norwich players looked from the first whistle. To be blunt, the Canaries appear to be sleepwalking into another EPL relegation.
Manager Dean Smith has stressed the importance of unity in the weeks ahead, but it’s not hard to see the Carrow Road crowd turning nasty if Chelsea run away with this match.
Before the off-pitch developments, Chelsea would have been one of the last teams the Canaries would have wanted to face, but in light of the off-pitch drama it might not be a bad time to play them. That said, Chelsea are in a rich vein of form. The defeat on penalties in the Carabao Cup final doesn’t appear to have impacted the team, as they’ve since progressed in the FA Cup at the expense of Luton Town and thoroughly dismantled Burnley last weekend in a 4-0 rout.
Kai Havertz has struggled for form since joining the Blues, but looked almost unplayable against Burnley. Manager Thomas Tuchel will hope to see a similar performance from the young German against Norwich.
Tuchel is enjoying an almost fully fit squad right now (Ben Chilwell is the only major absentee), which has been a rarity for Chelsea this season. Their mid-season wobble has probably knocked them out of the title race, but expect Chelsea to finish the season strong and make a real push to defend their Champions League title — unless the off-pitch situation has a major impact of course.
Here's how they line up:
Norwich: Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Zimmermann, Kabak, Normann, Lees-Melou, Williams, Pukki, McLean, Sargent.
Chelsea: Mendy, Christensen, Jorginho, Silva, Kovacic, Werner, Chalobah, Saul, Mount, Azpilicueta, Havertz.
