Winning the League Cup in 2004/05 laid the foundations for Jose Mourinho's era of success. 20 years later, can it help Mauricio Pochettino salvage his Chelsea career?
As the international break concludes, weekend league football is back and Chelsea look set to face 15th placed Norwich City. The fixture will be an intriguing one as Chelsea need to resurrect their form. Let’s analyze how the teams pan out for this weekend’s clash.
Chelsea: As for Chelsea Thibaut Courtois and Radmel Falcao are injured and wouldn’t be playing the match. Courtois has been sidelined due to an injury since the early stage of the season as for Falcao; muscular problems have been a concern. Another player who could miss the fixture is Kurt Zouma. The youngster may not start the game but could make it to the bench as he is the only backup centre back option Chelsea have presently.
Norwich City: English wingers Matt Jarvis and Nathan Redmond could be missing the contest. While Matt Jarvis will be missing the game due to a knee injury, Redmond could just possibly make it because of the form he has been in. The wide man has scored 4 goals this season for the Canaries. Also, Jamaican forward Lewis Grabban will be missing the match due to the red card he picked in the previous game.
Chelsea: Begovic (GK), Azpilicueta, Cahill, Terry, Abdul Rahman, Matic, Ramires, Hazard, Willian, Pedro, Diego Costa
Norwich City: Ruddy (GK), Whittaker, Martin, Bassong, Brady, Mbokani, Tettey, Mulumbu, Howson, Hoolahan, Jerome
