Chelsea can make it four Premier League wins in a row on Thursday when they face bottom side Norwich at Carrow Road.

Thomas Tuchel's team ran out 4-0 winners against Burnley on Saturday and are expected to strengthen their hold on third place with another victory in midweek.

Norwich are in dire need of three points as they are five points from safety in the top flight, but they have taken just one point from their last five matches.
