Norwich vs Chelsea: Live Stream TV Updates and How to Watch Premier League 2019 (2-3)

We'll wrap things up here. There's is alot to debate in regards to VAR! It wasn't Chelsea's friend today.

 

Nevertheless Chelsea were the better team in the second half and deserved the win. The Blues still have alot to do defensively before their next game against Sheffield United next weekend. For Norwich, they look good going forward but need to sort out their defence for the forthcoming games.

 

Thank you for joining my coverage on VAVEL.com for the Premier League match between Norwich and Chelsea which finished 3-2 to the Blues.

 

Frank Lampard finally has his first win as Chelsea manager in the Premier League.

Chelsea have moved up to 10th in the table with four points, whilst Norwich stay 13th for the meantime...

(2-3)

Norwich 2-3 Chelsea

 

A much better second half from the Blues, with Tammy Abraham's second goal of the game proving enough to help Frank Lampard to his first three points as Chelsea manager.  (2-3)

90+3' both Willian and Ross Barkley have had chances to make it 4-2!

(2-3)

We are in the 90th minute with Norwich pushing forward here for a late equaliser... (2-3)

84' Willian on for Christian Pulisic. (2-3)

80' Kenny McLean on for Moritz Leitner.

 

Dennis Srbeny on for Marco Stiepermann.

 

Mario Vrancic on for Tom Trybull. 

(2-3)

79' From a corner, Mount plays it short to Kovacic who whips it into the box, and Zouma tapped in after Giroud collided with Krul.

 

But the goal didn't stand as Giroud was adjudged to foul Krul...

75' Chelsea make their first change and it's Abraham off for Giroud.

 

Abraham has played so well today, scoring two goals for the Blues. (2-3)

72' Nearly 3-3! Godfrey hits the bar from a corner.

 

Yet again Chelsea look weak defending corners.... (2-3)

TAMMY ABRAHAM!! 3-2 TO CHELSEA!

 

After a Pukki effort was held by Kepa down the other end- Kovacic's through pass found Abraham who skipped past two players and finished beautifully past Krul. (2-3)

61' Azpilicueta's shout for a penalty was turned down by the referee. But replays seem to show that Stiepermann hacked at Azpilicueta's knee.

 

VAR did not overturn the decision... But that looked contentious. (2-2)

60' Emerson's shot after a beautiful lay off by Mount was saved by the feet of Tim Krul.  (2-2)

56' Chelsea just  lacking the final killer pass to the attacks that they have created in the second half so far. (2-2)

51' Stiepermann down injured here. Break in play here (2-2)

HALF TIME- Norwich 2-2 Chelsea 

What a first half for the neutral- almost like a Basketball match.

Chelsea took the lead through Abraham, but were pegged back immediately by Cantwell.

The Blues then retook the lead through Mason Mount, but Teemu Pukki levelled for the Canaries before the break.

 

Need to rest after that intense first half!

45+2' That was a chance for Chelsea to go 3-2 up before the break, but Barkley skies his effort from the edge of the box. (2-2) 

43' Stiepermann booked  for a foul on Jorginho.

 

That's two yellow cards in this match so far. One for each side. 

42' Not much happening at this moment. Both teams trying to create attacks but both teams would not want to concede a third goal before half time. (2-2) 

34' Buendia shoots from a free kick and his effort is parried away by Kepa to Hanley who's tame effort is held by the goalkeeper. (2-2) 

30' GOAL PUKKI.  The deadly striker makes it five for the season now, sliding the ball past Kepa from a tight angle.

(2-2)

28' Pulisic passes across the box to Jorginho, but Godfrey makes a vital block to prevent the third goal for the Blues.

(1-2)

25' CHRISTENSEN nearly makes it 3-1! Emerson's cross was met by the head of the Danish centreback, but his powerful headed effort was parried away by Krul.

 

So close to 3-1! (1-2)

24' Chelsea on top here at this moment. A scramble in Norwich's box nearly fell to Tammy Abraham but the Canaries manage to clear. (1-2)

17' GOAL MASON MOUNT! A brilliant one two on the edge of the box with Pulisic allows Mount space and he dribbles past Norwich's defence and smashes it home past Krul to give Chelsea the lead again.  (1-2)

13' A lovely one two combination allows Kovacic space in the box. He squares it and it was cleared just about by the Norwich defence. (1-1)

11' Both teams battling to get the momentum back. Such an open game here at Carrow Road. (1-1)

6' GOAL Todd Cantwell. What a start!

 

Pukki's pass across the box is tapped home by Cantwell for his first goal of the season. (1-1)

 

 

3' GOAL Tammy Abraham. Brilliant finish from Tammy Abraham who scores his first Chelsea goal.

 

Azpilicueta's cross is swept home clinically by the striker. (0-1)

2' Both teams trying to keep possession very early on here.

1' Kick-off at Carrow Road, Chelsea get us underway. 0-0

BREAKING- Pedro injured in the warm-up and is replaced by Ross Barkley!

 

Pedro and Kante both injured now!

 

Poor Frank

The teams are in the tunnel and are ready to enter a sunny Carrow Road.

 

Kick off next! 0-0

Unsurprisingly Norwich haven't made a change from their 3-1 win over Newcastle last weekend.

 

Can the Canaries make it back to back wins in the Premier League?

 

We will soon find out...

 

The Belgian striker has been included again in Lampard's first team squad after being left out for the opening two games of the Premier League season.

 

Batshuayi scored two goals in Chelsea's U23s 3-0 win over Liverpool's U23s in midweek in the Premier League 2.

 

Has his impressive performance in that match brought him back into Lampard's thinking?

 

Interestingly all three Chelsea strikers are in the matchday squad, with Abraham starting and Batshuayi and Giroud on the bench.

 

The news broke yesterday that Ngolo Kante had picked up a ankle injury in training and was a doubt for the game.

 

 He isn't even on the bench for today's match!

 

Kepa; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Zouma, Emerson; Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount; Pedro, Pulisic, Abraham.

 

Krul; Aaarons, Hanley, Godfrey, Lewis; Trybull, Leitner; Buendia, Stiepermann, Cantwell; Pukki.

Five minutes until the starting lineups are out for both sides...

Matchday 3️⃣ in the @PremierLeague!

Some bad news for Chelsea fans ahead of the match, as Frank Lampard has confirmed in his press conference today that star player Ngolo Kante is a doubt for the game tomorrow through an ankle injury!

 

 

Speaking about his star striker impressive form ahead of the match, here is what his boss had to say about him in his press conference.

 

"Teemu's form is not surprising. It's so good when you have a striker in this form.

"It's good for him to have a good start. Not only his goals, his workload is outstanding."

 

Speaking in his press conference, Norwich manager Daniel Farke has spoken about the dangers that Chelsea pose to his side.

 

"They've got their season up and running with performances but just haven't got the win yet. They are such a top-class side.

"They are perhaps even more dangerous because they are greedy to get their first win."

 

 

It is understood that Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi who hasn't been in the first team squad in any Premier League game so far has travelled with the squad for the game.

 

Batshuayi is part of the Chelsea squad travelling to Norwich. Lampard spoke positively about his performance in the dev squad win over Liverpool on Monday #cfc

Lampard didn't make it clear who would be the starting striker for this match coming up in his press conference.

 

"Someone has to come to the front, hopefully."

 

This is a sign that the first choice striker position is up for grabs between Abraham, Giroud and Batshuayi.

Saturday's fixture will be the 52nd meeting between the two sides, with Chelsea currently leading the way on 21 wins compared to Norwich's 14.

 

The last time these sides met was in the FA Cup in January 2018, when the Blues eventually overcame the then-Championship side on penalties after both the original tie and the replay had ended in a draw.

 

The Canaries have to look all the way back to December 1994 for their last win over the West London club, when a brace from Ashley Ward and a goal from Jamie Cureton guided them to a 3-0 home win.

Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Christensen, Emerson; Jorginho, Kante; Pedro, Mount, Pulisic; Giroud.

Krul; Aarons, Hanley, Godfrey, Byram; Trybull, Leitner; Cantwell, Stiepermann, Buendia; Pukki.

Chelsea are without fresh injury concerns and Willian could make his first start of the season after coming on as a substitute against Leicester following an injury.

 

Callum Hudson-Odoi has returned to training but is not expected to make the matchday squad until after the international break.

 

N'Golo Kante will be assessed ahead of the match after returning from injury last week.

Norwich are still without the injured Onel Hernandez, Christoph Zimmermann and Josip Drmic but Timm Klose, Ibrahim Amadou and Adam Idah offer more options in defense as they return to full fitness.

 

Jamal Lewis was substituted with cramp last weekend but is expected to return.

With both teams being so leaky at the back early on this season, we could be in for a high scoring game!

Both clubs have similar problems at the back.

Chelsea have also conceded five goals from their two Premier League matches.

And it could have been more if Leicester would have been more clinical in Chelsea's last match.

 

While Norwich beat Newcastle last weekend, it wasn't so easy for Frank Lampard's Chelsea.

They were fortunate enough to get away with a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester last Sunday.

It hasn't been a great start to the season for the Blues, only picking up one point from their first two games. 

So the West-Londoners will be looking for a confidence boost, by beating the Canaries.

Norwich City are very dangerous going forward, but not so at the back.

In the first two games of this Premier League season, the Canaries have conceded five goals already!

This is mostly due to their injury crisis at the back, and also partly due to their highly expansive style of play which leaves their defence vulnerable.

Daniel Farke's side last time out in the Premier League won 3-1 at home to Newcastle, with Teemu Pukki scoring a hatrick. 

The Finnish striker is currently joint scorer in the league with four goals already from two games!

Norwich have already faced a top six side this season, losing 4-1 away at Anfield against Liverpool on opening night of this Premier League season.

So this promises to be another tough test for the East Anglian side.

This is the third game of the Premier League season for both sides.

 

Norwich are currently higher up in the Premier League table as they currently sit in 11th place, whilst Chelsea sit four places below them in 15th place.

The Norwich vs Chelsea match will be played at Carrow Road, in Norwich, United Kingdom. The kick-off is scheduled at 12:30pm BST.
