Norwich vs Chelsea preview: Can Eden Hazard return to form or will Steven Naismith haunt Blues once again?

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at Carrow Road

It’s a big game for…

Steven Naismith: Naismith has scored six goals in seven Barclays Premier League appearances against Chelsea. The Scottish international will have to be in inspiring form to help his struggling side who are without a win in their last six games and have only picked up four points at home this year.

Best stat…

0-1-4: In their last five meetings with Chelsea, Norwich have won none, drawn one and lost four. Norwich manager Alex Neil will only hope this does not affect his side’s attitude towards the game.

Remember when…

Last time Chelsea went to Carrow Road, the Blues cruised past Norwich in a comfortable 3-1 victory over Canaries.

Player to watch…

Eden Hazard: The Belgian looks to be getting back to his old self and played very well on Saturday against Southampton. Continuation of his form could help Chelsea achieve a high finish.
