Frank Lampard is not under pressure yet, but Chelsea must win at Norwich or he will be soon.

The Blues are winless in the first three matches under their new boss, though there have been some promising signs.

While the newly-promoted Canaries are flying out the traps, with a big win over Newcastle boosting confidence.

It could be the dream start for Daniel Farke if his side can claim this scalp and provide further belief they can defy the odds and survive this season.

Here's everything you need to know about the game and how to follow it wherever you are on television or with a live stream.

Prediction

This is far from easy for Chelsea, who will be desperate for a victory in any way, shape or form.

Norwich will be flying and the defensive vulnerabilities will not have disappeared for Chelsea.

If N'Golo Kante is injured, a home win looks well and truly on, but if he can play some part, score draw.

Our prediction: Norwich 2-2 Chelsea
