View Chelsea v Norwich City head to head

Norwich City had now only won one of the last 12 Premier League meetings (lost eight). As a mark of respect for the victims of the terrorist attacks on Paris the previous weekend, La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, was played before the start of this match. Premier League chief Richard Scudamore called it an act of “solidarity and remembrance” after the Paris attacks. Kick-off: 3.00pm
