Chelsea are unbeaten in 16 matches in all competitions against Norwich winning 11 and drawing five.In the Premier League we have won nine and drawn two since our last defeat against Norwich, 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.The last occasion Norwich won at the Bridge was in October 1993 when Ruel Fox and Chris Sutton scored midway through each half. Gavin Peacock reduced the deficit late on from a Steve Clarke cross-header.Since Norwich were last here for a league game in 2015, we have met in the third round of the FA Cup in 2017/18.
