Chelsea vs Norwich City. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (October 23, 2021).

Command Analysis

Earlier this week Chelsea welcomed Malmö to Stamford Bridge for the third match of the Champions League group stage. The Swedish champions were absolutely destroyed by the defending European champions (4:0). Christensen and Havertz scored a goal each, and Jorginho netted a double. Chelsea are currently 2nd in Group H with 6 points. We would like to mention, that the Blues have conceded only 1 goal in this edition of the Champions League, back in the first round.
Thomas Tuchel's men are also enjoying success in the English Premier League, where they top the standings after 8 rounds. Today's hosts have recorded six victories and a draw. The closest pursuers, Liverpool, are just one point behind.
Chelsea lost to the reigning champions of the Premier League Manchester City (0:1), and after that, they defeated Southampton (3:1) and Brentford (1:0). Just like in the Champions League, the Blues show fantastic performance of the defensive; they have conceded only 3 goals in 8 games.
Pulisic, Lukaku, and Werner, who has a thigh injury, will not be able to enter the pitch today.

Norwich City have made their way directly to the English elite after a brilliant season in the EFL Championship. Over the summer, the team signed several new players, but this was not enough to start their Premier League campaign successfully. After 8 rounds of the English Premier League, Daniel Farke's charges have earned only 2 points. This happened in the last two rounds, when the Canaries managed to draw with Burnley (0:0) and Brighton (0:0).
Norwich City sit bottom of the table with the worst goal difference in the leadue. The Canaries have scored only twice while conceding an average of two goals per game.
Byram, Placheta, and Zimmermann, who has an ankle injury, are unavailable for Norwich this weekend.

Tip and bets
Chelsea are the obvious favourites here. Norwich City struggle to find their game and look weaker than other teams in the Premier League. Moreover, Norwich have not defeated Chelsea since 1994. The Londoners are in good spirits after a brilliant victory in the Champions League and will likely retain the leadership by winning this fixture.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-2) to Chelsea
Chelsea comfortably lead the head-to-head. The hosts are head and shoulders above the Canaries in all lines, their performers have higher induvidual skills. We just don't see Norwich avoiding a defeat here, even if Thomas Tuchel uses rotation to rest his players.
Second bet - Chelsea to win by 3 goals
