After a slow start to the season and stories of player unrest, Daniel Farke has managed to steady the ship and has Norwich perched in the middle of the Championship, and arrive in this fixture with unbeaten in their past three games.
Antonio Conte comes into this one amid a storm of flying accusations between himself and his Manchester United counterpart Jose Mourinho, and no doubt will be relieved that the focus returns to the football.
Will Chelsea leave Norfolk with their FA Cup hopes intact? Find out with our liveblog below:
63' - Norwich's Alex Pritchard works himself a bit of space in the penalty area before shooting at goal but David Luiz makes a good block.
66' - Pedro cuts inside from the left wing before shooting from distance but his effort is straight at the Norwich goalkeeper.
70' - Willy Caballero makes a mess of his attempt to punch clear a Norwich free-kick and the ball lands at the feet of Josh Murphy, who sends a snap-shot wide on the volley.
The Norwich man might've scored with a little more composure there.
76' - Grant Hanley of Norwich collects a booking for a cynical foul on Tiemoue Bakayoko on the edge of the box after a driving run by the Frenchman.
78' - David Luiz's powerful free-kick dips at the last second but not quite enough and the ball lands on top of Angus Gunn's net.
