CHE vs NOR Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
It’s a potential banana skin for the Blues as Norwich are high on confidence after thrashing Newcastle United 3-1 last week.
More so, Danie Farke’s team showed in the opening game against Liverpool at Anfield, that they are not scared of pressing down the big teams. Their short passing can cause Chelsea some damage if the visiting team is not at its best.
Team News:
Norwich City:
- Norwich remain without Christoph Zimmermann, Louis Thompson, Josip Drmic and Onel Hernandez.
- But Daniel Farke is set to welcome back Ibrahim Amadou, Timm Klose, and Adam Idah to his team as the trio returns to full fitness.
- More or less, Daniel Farke is expected to stick with the playing 11 which won 3-1 against the Toons last weekend.
Chelsea:
- The Blues have no fresh injury concerns as of now.
- Though Ruben Loftus-Cheek remains out due to an injury, while Callum Hudson-Odoi is expected to return to the first-team fold only after the international break.
- Antonio Rudiger is earing a return but this game may have too soon for the German. The 22-year-old center-back is expected to return next week.
- N’Golo Kante will be assessed before the game as the French star is suffering from an ankle problem.
