Norwich City vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Carrow Road
Follow live coverage as Norwich City face Chelsea in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.
European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.
Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Norwich City vs Chelsea
It's Mount and Havertz causing havoc again - the duo combine beautifully in the Norwich area and finishes with the former volleying over the crossbar. Not the best finish but the build-up play was just lovely.
Norwich City vs Chelsea
Zimmermann now manages to break forward and his edge-of-the-box strike hits Thiago Silva and could have made life difficult for Mendy...it didn't as it turns out but it could have.
Norwich City vs Chelsea
Oooh a Norwich shot! Normann tries his luck with a dipping effort from 25 yards. It's not the worst effort you'll see but Mendy was in no real danger.
Norwich City vs Chelsea
Chelsea are unbeaten in their four Premier League midweek games this season (W1 D3), though the last three have all seen the Blues open the scoring before eventually drawing 1-1 (vs Everton and twice against Brighton). You get the sense they may not let this one slip, though.
