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
Over an hour has gone and besides the two goals there's been very little to get excited about. Perhaps the final half an hour can perk things up a bit?
Norwich City vs Chelsea
Short corners can be brilliant there's no doubt...this one from Norwich wasn't. And you have to question the sense at 2-0 down, having barely laid a glove on the opposition, in opting not to try and get something in the Chelsea area.

Mount draws a foul from Lees-Melou on the very edge of the area. He steps up to take the shot himself, he gets it over the wall but with nowhere near enough dip to trouble Krul's goal.
Norwich City vs Chelsea
Norwich have won just one of their last 29 midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League games (D8 L20), and are winless in 13 (D3 L10) since a 4-2 victory over Watford in May 2016. The Canaries have also lost both of their Thursday games in the competition. It's hard to see that record improving here.
