Sports Mole previews the Boxing Day Premier League clash between Norwich City and Chelsea at Carrow Road.

Hosting Norwich City head into their home encounter with Chelsea having seen their 10-game unbeaten run ended by West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon.

The visiting Blues enjoyed better luck last time out, having scored eight unanswered goals against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

However, Chelsea should hold no fear for Norwich, who have already defeated Arsenal and Manchester United at Carrow Road this season.

They may also be boosted by the return of captain Grant Holt, who has spent the last couple of weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring problem. Steven Whittaker though will not make the clash because of a muscular injury.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will still be without skipper John Terry because of a knee complaint that has still not healed, despite making a return to training.
