Juan Mata is in sublime for the Blues, the Spanish playmaker has scored four goals and has provided four assists so far.

Norwich manager Chris Hughton will be hoping to grab victory but he might have to wait for a while since they host Arsenal in the coming week after the against Chelsea.

Blues striker Daniel Sturridge remains injured with a hamstring injury while Sebastian Bassong is sidelined for Norwich.

Trivia:
