Dream11 Fantasy Soccer: Chelsea v. Norwich City Preview

This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy Soccer series.

Game Preview

The 2019-20 Premier League season is drawing to a close, and this matchup will face one team, Chelsea, with a lot on the line against another, Norwich City, that do not have anything to play for after getting relegated in the last few days. The Blues can thank Southampton for keeping their third place in the standings, as their 96th-minute goal against Manchester United prevented the Red Devils from topping them in the table. The Blues enter this matchup in inconsistent form, however, as they have dropped three of their last four games, and they need to find some sort of consistency before it's too late, especially with Man Utd and Leicester City breathing down their neck. Norwich, on the other hand, are dead last and the best thing they can do is start preparing for next season, where they will be playing in the English Championship once again.

Recent Form

Chelsea: W3, L2

Norwich: L5

Top Picks

Willian, Chelsea: Willian has been nearly unstoppable of late, with four goals on 12 shots and two assists on 13 chances created in the last five games. As the team's main creator and focal point of the attack, he's a must-start player in this matchup against Norwich's weak defensive unit.

Tammy Abraham, Chelsea: Abraham might not be playing at a very high level of late, but he netted two goals against Norwich in the previous meeting this season. The England international could exploit Norwich's defensive weaknesses, as the Canaries average almost 2.0 goals conceded per away fixture this season.

Captain and Vice-Captain Options

  1. Willian
  2. Tammy Abraham
  3. Christian Pulisic
  4. Kepa Arrizabalaga
