Top marksman
Looking at the goalscorer market, it may seem a good idea to side with Jorginho. He is the top-scoring player for Chelsea in their last 6 matches. He managed to find the back of the net 2 times, and will surely want to add some more goals against Norwich. Kai Havertz is another tempting prospect, especially with Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner out.
The visitors will be looking to in-form Teemu Pukki to find the net once again, as he has been their main man recently.
