During a span where a slew of teams have struggled to remaining stellar, Chelsea (5-0-1) has continued to perform impressively and is expected to do the same when they take on Norwich City (0-3-3) on Saturday. The Blues currently sit atop the English Premiere League table with 16 points while the Canaries lag in the bottom three (18th place) with a mere 3 points. Even more disadvantageous for Norwich City, the game will be taking place on Chelsea's home turf at Stamford Bridge, London.

The Blues' latest victim was Arsenal, whom they defeated 2-1 on the road last weekend. The club's outstanding start has allotted them a three-point lead over the second place Everton. Hence, a win against Norwich City would guarantee that their respective cushion stays intact for at least another few weeks.

Facing the possibility of relegation, the Canaries are quite a different story. The Blues will be under a massive amount of pressure to pull out a surprise victory. The team has yet to rack up a win and it's becoming increasingly imperative.

However, Chelsea will most certainly not take the seemingly lop-sided matchup for granted, as they'll undoubtedly look to build a big lead in the early going. This would serve to eliminate any potential probability off an upset, which hasn't been as far-fetched in EPL play as one may assume.

Leading the Blues with three goals in league action, Fernando Torres will look to continue his superb play. If the 28-year-old striker can continue his effective attack, it will be crucial in the football club's dominance over the rest of the pack.
