Norwich City have three points from their first two games back in the Premier League. Home form will be important for them as they bid to stay in the top flight. Their season began with a 4-1 loss at Liverpool but it was a different story for them on home soil against Newcastle United last weekend. The Canaries were soaring after a 3-1 win with all of their goals coming from Teemu Pukki. That's four goals for the Finnish striker in just two games. Norwich will be hoping for more from their top striker in the coming months. Home form was good last season in the Championship and they are unbeaten at home in their last 11 games. There are usually a few goals scored too with 15 of their last 16 league matches at Carrow Road having over 2.5 goals scored in them.

Chelsea are still looking for their first win under new boss Frank Lampard. They had that disastrous 4-0 loss at Manchester United in their opening league game. That was followed by a penalty shoot-out loss to Liverpool in the European Super Cup before a 1-1 home draw with Leicester City. Chelsea are 15th in the Premier League, four places below their opponents in this game. They are already five points behind the league leaders. Away form for Chelsea has seen one win in the last seven competitive games, that victory being in the Europa League final. A bet on over 2.5 goals being scored in this game looks the best bet.
