GOAL! Norwich City 2 (Pukki 30) Chelsea 2
Pukki's done it again! Buendia gets the ball in the hole between the Chelsea midfield and defence. He slips a ball through the right side channel to Pukki in the penalty area, and his low drive goes through Kepa and into the net!
29'
Pulisic escapes into the Norwich area, and finds Jorginho. Just as Jorginho shapes to shoot, Godfrey lunges in with an exellent block-cum-tackle to snuff out the danger.

26'
Chelsea win a free-kick just to the right of the Norwich area, but Emerson overhits it and the ball drifts away for a goal kick. The visitors are all over this at the moment, it's a dangerous spell for Norwich.
25'
GREAT SAVE BY KRUL! A long cross to the Norwich back post finds Christensen. He thumps a header at the Norwich goal and a superb reflex save from Krul diverts it over the bar.
24'
Abraham briefly threatens to barrel through a mesh of Norwich players and clean through into the area, but Norwich scramble the ball clear.
23'
Chelsea are snapping around the heels of Norwich in midfield, pressurising the home side into mistakes to gain the ball for their three playmakers behind Abraham.
21'
Norwich seem momentarily stunned by that, but have settled back into possession. The pace to this game is electric, surely both sides can't keep this up?

GOAL! Norwich City 1 Chelsea 2 (Mount 17)
Another superb goal for Chelsea! A lovely slipped pass from Pulisic releases Mount into the Norwich area. He cuts across Hanley and thwacks a high, right-footed drive into the corner of Krul's net. That's two in two for Mount now, what a talent he is.
15'
Stiepermann pulls back Kovacic as he threatens to get away and into a dangerous position in the Norwich half. He's very lucky not to get booked there.
14'
An excellent one two between Kovacic and Abraham releases the former into the Norwich area. He pulls it back across the area but Aarons jumps in to clear the danger.

Chelsea string a few passes together now, as the game settles down. That late change to their starting team doesn't seem to have thrown them off kilter.
10'
There's a ferocious pace to this game, buoyed by those two early goals. Breathless stuff so far.
7'
Mount has a long ranger effort from around 25 yards out, but it's straight down the throat of Krul.

Norwich strike back immediately! Great work from Buendia works a crossing position for Pukki in the Chelsea area. He drills into into the six yard box, where Cantwell arrives to calmly slot it into the net. What a start!

What a start for Chelsea! Pulisic carries the ball to the Norwich area, and lays it off to Azpilicueta. He stands the ball up into the area, and Abraham drills a half volley into the bottom corner as it lands.

Peep peep, we're off!

That late Barkley inclusion is an understandably rushed switch for Chelsea - how will that affect things today?
12:27
The captains Grant Hanley and Cesar Azpilicueta are in the tunnel, ready to bring the teams out. Your referee for today’s high jinks will be Martin Atkinson.
