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...

41'
Norwich fail to clear a looping ball into their box and Giroud is able to get a shot away, but slices it.
40'
Pulisic perhaps lucky not to be booked for a petulant foul on Hernandez.
39'
Cantwell and Hernadez look to be doing a good job of reliving the pressure, but Rupp loses the ball and Chelsea come again. Alonso ends up winning a corner when his long-range shot is deflected wide.
37'
And Zouma heads inches wide from the corner! Pressure really building now.
36'
Pulisic hits the bar! He takes down a cross nicely, swivels and shoots, forcing Krul to tip onto the bar.
35'
Azpilicueta flicks on a corner at the near post and then, with the ball heading out, Loftus-Cheek does really well to head back into the six-yard box, but none of his team-mates expected it and Norwich clear.
34'
Alonso has some more joy coming forward, crossing low for Giroud. He flicks the ball on towards Willian, but the Canaries scramble to clear.
31'
Klose is down after a collision with Pulisic and will require some treatment to his knee.
30'
Azpilicueta finds space down the right and then crosses low for Giroud, who is also in space, but the Frenchman kicks the ball into his standing leg and wide. Best chance so far.
27'
Pulisic takes on an Alonso cutback first time, but sends the ball into the side netting. The hosts could do with Alonso making that type of run to the byline more often.
27'
Jorginho loses the ball on halfway, but Drmic then runs down a blind alley.
25'
A good shout. And good news for Norwich, he's okay to carry on.
24'
Indeed here it is.
23'
Cantwell is hobbling after playing an ungainly pass. The drinks break is coming though.
21'
The first real chance of the match falls to Giroud, after Godfrey fails to deal with a speculative through ball, but he doesn't make the cleanest of connections and as a result his attempt to lob Krul comes up short.
19'
Chelsea are dominating possession, as you would expect, but the visitors' defensive shape has been decent.
15'
Cantwell nutmegs Loftus-Cheek to start a Norwich attack which ends with Lewis cross over his head.
13'
Hernandez does well to track Azpilicueta's advance and even win a goal kick for his side.
10'
Little action for him so far.
6'
Norwich survive an early Blues corner, clearing well.
3'
Loftus-Cheek arrives at the extreme near post to meet an Azpilicueta cross, but heads wide.
