Ahead of another Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea and Norwich City have confirmed their respective line-ups.
Thomas Tuchel has rung in the changes for Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Norwich City at Stamford Bridge.
As Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner are injured, Kai Havertz starts in the middle of the attack. The German impressed in the 4-0 Champions League win over Malmo on Wednesday and hopes to score again.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, who also impressed off the bench against Malmo, gets a rare start. But amid problems with his shoulder, Hakim Ziyech again misses out on a place in the Blues line-up.
Another big name is missing is N’Golo Kante. The Frenchman has struggled with injuries so far this season. And as Chelsea are heavy favorites to beat Norwich, Tuchel has evidently rested him. Mateo Kovacic instead partners Jorginho in central midfield.
The clash in west London begins at 13:30 (CEST) on Saturday afternoon.
