Norwich vs Chelsea: Key match facts, head to head, last result.

Chelsea travel to Norwich today to play their third Premier League match of the season.

The Blues have not failed to win at least one of their opening three league matches since the 1998-99 season, according to The BBC.

However, The Canaries are attempting to win three consecutive Premier League matches at Carrow Road for the first time since December 2012, according to the same report.

Chelsea will feel confident looking back at the history of matches between the two.

The Blues drew their most recent encounter in 2018 in open play, but eventually won the FA Cup third round replay 5-3 on penalties.

Michy Batshuayi was the player who scored Chelsea’s open play goal that day.

The BBC report that head-to-head, Chelsea are on a 15 game unbeaten run against Norwich in all competitions, and they have not lost at Carrow Road in the last 7 matches.

Norwich have only taken 2 points from 10 Premier League meetings between the two sides.

Chelsea will need to be aware of Teemu Pukki though, who has scored four goals in two Premier League games.

Frank Lampard will be desperate to avoid becoming the first Chelsea manager since 1988 to fail to win any of his first four competitive games in charge.

If Willian makes an appearance today, it will be his 200th in the Premier League.
