Chelsea will look to halt their slump against fellow strugglers Norwich City on Saturday.
Chelsea have won only three Premier League matches since the start of the season, leaving the defending champions, rather incredibly, in 16th place. Though they still seem much too good to be sucked into a genuine relegation scrap, things don't seem to be improving at Stamford Bridge. A home defeat to fellow strugglers Norwich City on Saturday could well prove to be the final straw for manager José Mourinho
Norwich only won promotion via the playoffs last season, but Alex Neil's side are just about managing to keep their heads above water. The Canaries ended a run of four straight league defeats with a 1-0 win at home to Swansea City before the international break, and provisionally find themselves four points above the bottom three. They're still nowhere near being comfortable, but they're certainly competitive.
Key player: Eden Hazard(Chelsea)
Like everyone in the Chelsea dressing room, Eden Hazard has struggled to show his very best form this season. But unlike almost everyone else in Mourinho's starting lineup, the Belgian is a world class talent. His handy knack of breaking down deep-lying defences with a dribble or a pass is sure to come in handy in this match, when Chelsea play host to one of the most negative sides in the division.
