Norwich City host Chelsea at Carrow Road hoping to find a way past the Premier League champions and into the FA Cup fourth-round hat.

After a slow start to the season and stories of player unrest, Daniel Farke has managed to steady the ship and has Norwich perched in the middle of the Championship, and arrive in this fixture with unbeaten in their past three games.

Antonio Conte comes into this one amid a storm of flying accusations between himself and his Manchester United counterpart Jose Mourinho, and no doubt will be relieved that the focus returns to the football.

Will Chelsea leave Norfolk with their FA Cup hopes intact? Find out with our liveblog below:

88' - We're approaching full-time here and Chelsea are yet to seriously trouble Angus Gunn in the Norwich goal bar a decent Willian effort midway through this half.

Full-time - Norwich 0-0 Chelsea

Close! A Chelsea corner is cleared but the ball only travels as far as Davide Zappacosta, who takes a touch before volleying a shot narrowly wide of Angus Gunn's far post!

The final whistle goes a short time later and we're going to a replay in this one!
