1st EPL game of the weekend comes from Carrow Road as Norwich entertain Chelsea.

Obviously the blues will be favourites but this will be tricky for them as Norwich have more than held there own this season.

Anyone see an upset here?

[lichtie23]

Gary Cahill is expected to make his debut and both Ivanovic and Essien are both pushing for places. Jon Obi Mikel is injured

Norwich are without Ritchie De Laet as he has completed his loan spell and returned to Manchester United

I can see Norwich taking at least 1 point here today.

This. Think it will be 1-1 Torres Lampard getting an early goal before Grant Holt levels late on.

33-1 if you bet on Lampard scoring first and a final score of 1-1.

Iv got £20 on over 2.5 goals

[lichtie23]

Norwich: Ruddy, Martin, Whitbread, Ayala, Naughton, Fox, Johnson, Pilkington, Surman, Morison, Holt

Subs: Steer, Drury, Crofts, Jackson, Hoolahan, Bennett, Wilbraham

[lichtie23]

Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Meireles, Sturridge, Torres, Mata

Subs: Turnbull, Ivanovic, Essien, Romeu, Malouda, Lukaku, Bertrand

[lichtie23]

Cahill not even on the bench

[lichtie23]

0-0 at Half Time. Not the greatest of games and Lampard off with a calf injury for Chelsea

[Dindeleux]

Once again I've been impressed with Torres. I know he's not scoring but his movement etc is back to almost its best IMO

[ICTJohnboy]

I thought that was a good 1st half - especially for Norwich.

Holt is brilliant.

[mad dogs fan]

One of the great mysteries of football.How does Aaron Wilbraham manage a calender year at a decent club. Has anybody seen him play a decent game?

Just needs a few goals and he will be flying again in my opinion

[lichtie23]

Fucking move Lukaku

Seem to lack idea's up front. Defence loils ok and that's 3 clean sheets on the bounce

John Ruddy Man of the match.....probably deserved

Deserve an England call-up?

[mid-table]

Chelsea were absolutely honking today. Not just in the lack of cutting edge, but the number of straightforward passes where they were just passing it about under no pressure from Norwich, and the receiving player had to change direction to get the ball was unreal.
