Photos ⬇ Chelsea will look to boost their hopes of a Premier League top-four finish against rock-bottom Norwich City on Tuesday night.
The Blues suffered a huge setback as they lost 3-0 at Sheffield United on Saturday, with Manchester City's successful Champions League ban appeal coming at the worst time for Frank Lampard.
That means a top-four finish is now vital, and Chelsea must beat the Canaries on Tuesday to keep the pressure on rivals Manchester United and Leicester City.
Chelsea-Norwich match will be hosted inside the Stamford Bridge at 20:15 on Tuesday behind closed doors, which means fans won't be allowed inside the Arena due to government guidelines put in place to help against the spread of the coronavirus.
Due to a hamstring injury, French pro defensive midfielder N'golo Kante will be missing for Chelsea, however, the good news is the player could be available for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United.

Ondrej Duda will not feature for Norwich City at Stamford Bridge after he was given the go-ahead to return to Hertha Berlin his parent club.
During the 4-0 defeat to West Ham, the Slovakian was not in action, which confirmed the Canaries' relegation and as a result the loanee has been allowed to go back to Germany early.
