Norwich vs Chelsea head-to-head record

Chelsea are unbeaten in 15 matches in all competitions against Norwich, winning 10 and drawing five.

In the Premier League we have won eight and drawn two since our last defeat at Carrow Road in December 1994, when Jamie Cureton and a brace from Ashley Ward secured a 3-0 victory against Glenn Hoddle’s Blues.

At Carrow Road, we are undefeated in our last seven trips in league and cup.

In his playing career for the Blues, Frank Lampard never lost against Norwich, scoring four goals in his eight wins and three draws in all competitions.

Chelsea have lost just two of our last 22 Premier League games against newly promoted teams (15 wins, five draws), although both defeats came against reigning Championship champions; 0-3 v Newcastle in 2017/18, and 1-2 v Wolves last season.

Since losing three of their first five league games in 2018/19, Norwich City have lost just four of their last 43 league matches, winning 27 of them.

Norwich have won eight of their last 11 home league matches, drawing the other three since losing 3-4 against Frank Lampard’s Derby County in December.

The Canaries are looking to win three consecutive Premier League home games for the first time since December 2012.

Norwich City have won once in their last 15 Premier League home games against ‘big six’ opposition, picking up seven points from a possible 45 in this run (one win, four draws and 10 defeats).

The Canaries’ two games have seen nine goals scored (four scored, five conceded) – no team’s first two games have had more.

Teemu Pukki is the first player to score a Premier League hat-trick for Norwich City since Efan Ekoku against Everton in September 1993. He has become the first player in Premier League history to score as many as four goals in his first two appearances in the competition.

Since the start of the 2018/19 season Teemu Pukki has scored more league goals than any other player. The top five are:Teemu Pukki, Norwich - 33James Norwood, Tranmere/Ipswich - 31Tammy Abraham, Aston Villa/Chelsea - 26Neal Maupay, Brentford/Brighton - 26James Collins, Luton - 26

Daniel Farke is the first Norwich manager to win his opening home Premier League game in charge of the Canaries since Mike Walker in August 1992 – prior to last week, each of the last seven managers had lost their first home game in charge of Norwich in the competition.

Norwich's pre-season

Norwich’s six pre-season friendlies were all played in Germany and England. First up they drew at Arminia Bielefeld and beat Schalke, before returning to England to lose to Brentford and then beat Luton 5-1 at Kenilworth Road. The last two were at Carrow Road against Atalanta, where Chelsea loanee Mario Pasalic scored in a 1-4 defeat, and then a 1-0 win over Toulouse.
