    Farke also confirmed that he had no fresh injury concerns ahead of the Chelsea game.

    Rumour has it that Farke is picking both Krul and McGovern in the starting lineup in an effort to keep the score down.

    Well, in the last 8 games, we've been playing like we're a man short in the outfield anyway, so that wouldn't make such a massive difference!

    Michael Theoklitos is touching down at Heathrow. Another top class keeper couldn't hurt.

    • Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 11 league matches against Norwich, winning nine.
    • The Canaries have not beaten Chelsea in 26 years.
    • Relegated Norwich could lose an eighth consecutive league game for the first time in their history.
    • Norwich have taken just six points out of a possible 51 away from home this season, winning only once, and scoring a league-low seven goals.
    • Defeat against Chelsea would mean Norwich sustain 25 losses in a single season for the first time in league football.
    • Norwich have lost all 21 of their Premier League games when conceding first this season. They're the only side in Europe's top five leagues not to gain a single point from a losing position so far. <doh>
    • Teemu Pukki has not scored in the league since January, a run of 11 matches (780 minutes).

    Oh dear, anyone for cricket? Park the bus time? Or to hell with it and put lots of new faces out there?

    Start Jordan Thomas, Josh Martin and Adam Idah .
    Give them a taste of the Premier league.
    Drop Aarons, Pukki and Buendia

    Who will play the #10 spot, Todd with Rupp on the right? Or vice-versa?

    Nothing to play for and he puts out the same duds game after game .

    Rupp and Drmic have been terrible and they keep getting picked

    I don't think Rupp has been that bad, reminds me a little of when we played Gary O'Neill in a similar role. He helps solidify up that region of the pitch, and it's helpful having another passing option when our central midfielders lack vision/options. Against United he'd have scored were it not for an unbelievably good block. I don't think he offers as much going forwards as I'd like, and equally he's not that tough-tackling, but I can see the logic vs Chelsea. It does limit our attacking options though, Cantwell and Onel are very responsible for creativity.

    Drmic, I guess we might as well see if there's a chance he's good/keen enough for the Championship...?

    Good performance so far. Chelsea having the possession but not really threatening.
