Follow all the action from Carrow Road
Follow live coverage as Norwich City face Chelsea in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.
European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.
Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

Martin Atkinson blows on his whistle and we're back underway at Carrow Road!

That being said, this is football and you just never, never know. Perhaps Dean Smith can breathe a bit of life into his Norwich side as they chew on their half-time oranges (is that a thing that happens at the elite level of football? Does it even happen in park football anymore? Please let us know the answer to these big questions). As it stands, though, it's hard to imagine anything other than a Chelsea win and in truth you feel the Blues have a couple of goals left in them.

The half-time whistle goes and Chelsea are 2-0 up without having to move out of second gear, barely first gear in truth. Chalobah's early header from Mount corner had Norwich on the ropes from the off and provider turned goalscorer with a classy finish to double the visitors' lead. Off the pitch there are big problems for Chelsea to try and solve, on it they have had very little to overcome here.
