Chelsea vs Norwich: preview, free tip and statistics

22.10.2021 07:00

Saturday's part of the ninth round of the top English competition will start with a duel between Chelsea and newcomer Norwich.

Background information, news and team form

Chelsea is now at the top of the table with 19 points after eight games played, although, unlike Liverpool, for example, who have not lost a competitive game yet, they have already lost one game to Manchester City. Chelsea surprisingly managed to win the Champions League last season and is expected to attack the title of the top English competition rather than defend it in the millionaire competition. Helping it to do so should be a new acquisition in the form of striker Romelu Lukaku, who is expected to finally be the type of striker who will once again be able to score 20 goals in a season. However, Chelsea played a Champions League match against Malmo of Sweden during the week and both Chelsea strikers - Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku - were injured in that match and both are ruled out for this game. Defenders Christensen, who scored his first goal for Chelsea, Jorginho and Havertz were able to replace them in the Malmo game. In this match, the injured strikers will have to be replaced again. Norwich was predicted to be relegated at the start of the season and the reality meanwhile is no different. Norwich has returned to the top English league after a year in the Championship, but just like the season before, they occupy the last position in the table and after eight rounds played they have only 2 points from two goalless draws against Burnley and Brighton. Moreover, Norwich has only managed to score 2 goals and this is the lowest number of all teams in the league. The visitors can at least take solace in the fact that the last two games against Chelsea have always been close by just one goal, and if Norwich's defensive back four play flawlessly and Pukky breaks off on some counter-attack, some chance of getting points here is still real.

 

 

Betdoin's view of the game 

Chelsea goes into this match as clear favourites at odds of 1.20. A draw is listed at odds of 7 with the bookmakers, and if you want to back the visitors to win, that is available at odds of 20. The goal line for this match is listed at over 2.5. Our clever Betodin algorithm sees the value for this match more in the under bets. Chelsea will be missing their main strikers and Norwich are not expected to pose any offensive threat, moreover against a proven Chelsea defence.

 

 

Absentees and estimated line-ups 

As mentioned above, Chelsea will miss both strikers - Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner. Initial scans indicate that the Belgian will miss at least 3 weeks. For Timo Werner, the time of return is still unknown. Otherwise, the German coach doesn't miss anyone.

Norwich will miss Billy Gilmour, who is on loan from Chelsea in London. Todd Cantwell, who was absent due to an Achilles injury, could return. Przemyslaw Placheta, who has been struggling with a minor injury, could also return. Zimmermann and Byram will definitely be missed.

Chelsea - estimated line-up:

Mendy - Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Christensen - James, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Chilwell - Ziyech, Mount; Havertz

Norwich - estimated line-up:

Krul - Hanley, Kabak, Gibson - Aarons, Lees-Melou, McLean, Normann, Giannoulis - Pukki, Sargent
