Feels like a lifetime ago...

Slightly more pedestrian task at hand, but no less important at this very moment, beating Norwich City.

Make it so.

As expected, Kenedy gets a start at left back just like the first time we played Norwich, and Bertrand Traore gets his full debut, albeit at right wing rather than striker.  And Pato's on the bench!  It's all happening.

(And no Naismith for Norwich!)

COME ON, CHELSEA!
