Norwich have been one of the surprise packages of the Premier League this season. But I did think at the start of the campaign that they were the team from the three newly-promoted ones that had the best chance of survival. They've arrived in the Premier League and carried on doing what got them into this league in the first place. Playing as a team, working for each other and being positive. Believing they can score against anyone, even if they concede a few in the process.
Match Odds
Perhaps the most impressive thing about Norwich is that they haven't allowed themselves to be intimidated by anyone. They may have lost to the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea but in all those matches they created enough chances to get something from the game. They have the confidence to have a go at the big teams and that's something that comes from the manager, Paul Lambert.
Carrow Road is a unique little ground and Norfolk a very interesting part of the country. They love their football over there and the crowd gets really excited about these glamorous Premier League ties. And when they don't, at least Delia does!
Chelsea have looked a little better over the past few weeks. Or maybe they've just been that little bit luckier. That Fernando Torres shot that rebounded into Frank Lampard and then into the back of the net last weekend and a late, late winner by Lampard - who was lucky to be on the pitch - at Wolves a couple of weeks before that lends weight to that argument. People I speak to who watch Chelsea live every week are telling me that Torres is looking sharp and confident again and that the goals will come sooner rather than later for him. But then again we've said all that before as regards the former Liverpool man.
I think Norwich continue to be under-rated by fans and the Betfair markets. I think they're too big at 6.0 and they have a real chance of winning this match and by the same token I think that Chelsea are too short at 1.66. I'll be laying the Blues because the draw is very much in the equation.
Over/Under 2.5 goals
Chelsea don't score too many these days because they're not playing well enough to do so, simple as that. I've said Norwich really go for it but I can't see them scoring more than once against a Chelsea back-line that's started to look just that little bit more secure in recent weeks (and may be bolstered by new man Gary Cahill). It's not my most confident bet of the weekend but I'll side with 'unders' here at 2.46. 1-1 in the correct score market is also worth a small interest at 9.4.
To Score
If you saw Steve Morison warm up before kick-off without knowing him, you'd have a hard time working out what position he played in. For starters he wears a centre-back's shirt number (five) and his build doesn't really give any clues to his position either. But he's a real success story, a player who paid his dues in the lower leagues before enjoying life in the 'Big Time'. He's an awkward customer to mark and he's in form with two goals in his last two matches. Back him to score at anytime at 4.0.
2 pts lay Chelsea @ 1.66
1 pt Back under 2.5 goals @ 2.46

2 pts Back Steve Morison to score at anytime @ 4.0
