Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Chelsea's clash against already-relegated Norwich City. The Blues cannot afford another slip-up as they look to solidify a place in the top four, while could the knowledge of their relegation already being sealed free up the Canaries to give it a real go against a side both vulnerable at home and in defence? Team news will be with your shortly...

90+4'
FT: Chelsea 1-0 Norwich. It is. It wasn’t massively pretty or impressive, but a drama-free evening will be welcomed by Chelsea after the horror show in Sheffield last time out. Giroud's goal made the difference and Norwich never looked like scoring.
90+4'
Ball in the corner, that should be that.
90+1'
Three added minutes.
89'
Willian shoots from the free kick and Krul beats the ball clear at his near post.

Fouls against2
75'
Giroud drops deep and clips a lovely ball over the top for Pulisic, but his tame volley is kept out by Krul.
74'
Norwich have offered very little going forward - which makes Drmic's place on the pitch surprising - but they're still only a goal down and therefore Chelsea are vulnerable.
73'
A searching Azpilicueta cross lands on the head of Giroud, only eight yards out, but the Frenchman can't keep his effort down.
