TUESDAY: Chelsea v Norwich City (Kick-off 11.15pm UAE): After his team's brutal 3-0 defeat at Sheffield United on Saturday, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard admitted the Blades "were better than us physically, in the mind and with the ball" and called it “one of our worst” performances of the season. Facing a team already relegated at home in your next game might just be what the doctor ordered to reboot Chelsea's top-four ambitions. Norwich are poised to lose an eighth consecutive league game for the first time in their history and have not beaten Chelsea in 26 years. Prediction: Chelsea 3 Norwich 0. PA
