Chelsea may be all but out of the Premier League title race, but the FA Cup offers a legitimate chance for the Blues to win silverware this season.
They sit 16 points behind Manchester City, but have been handed a somewhat favourable draw in the cup, with the Blues to travel to Carrow Road to take on Norwich City.
The Canaries are 13th in the Championship, but are unbeaten in their last three games.

GAME PREVIEW
Norwich manager Daniel Farke believes his team can "do something extraordinary" against Chelsea this weekend, but they will be wary of the strength in depth boasted the Premier League side.
A number of internationals can be fielded, including the likes of Daniel Drinkwater and Michy Batshuayi, are likely to be fielded as they look for first-team minutes. Even if they replace N'Golo Kante and Alvaro Morata, Chelsea's side cannot be considered weakened.
The Blues' form in recent weeks has been excellent; the club has not lost since December 9, but they were held to a breathless 2-2 draw by Arsenal on Friday.
They are likely to focus significant effort on their hunt for FA Cup glory, too, as the Premier League title race is over in all but name.
