Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Chelsea and Norwich City. The first-division clash scheduled for 11 a.m. ET will be held at Stamford Bridge in London and can be live streamed here free.
With Norwich City entering today's match three points below safety, manager Neil Adams hopes to create another memorable afternoon at Stamford Bridge. Should the club fail to capture the full three points this afternoon, relegation to England's second division is a mere certainty (h/t to Sky Sports). "I have very good memories [of Stamford Bridge]," Adams said.
"The last time I was there as a coach was the Youth Cup final and we were successful. If there are any coincidences or traces of luck, then hopefully that will happen," he added.
"It is exactly the same; everyone outside of Norfolk doesn't give us a chance on Sunday. Chelsea are going for the title and we are in the bottom three and it doesn't take a genius to work out who the neutral will be fancying to win the game."
"It was exactly the same with the Youth Cup final. Nobody really gave us a chance against a big and expensively-assembled Chelsea side, but it is very similar to now. If you get the players right and get them believing, they can go there and cause an upset."
"They can."

Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With trouble in paradise between Jose Mourinho and Eden Hazard, Chelsea's Willian is projected to start on the left side of the club's 4-3-3 system this afternoon. The 25-year-old has made just four starts bearing that responsibility this season, but has proven to be effective pushing forward and tracking back, contributing two of his seven assists in the process.
Chelsea's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Schwarzer; Azpilicueta, Kalas, Cahill, Ivanovic; Luiz, Matic, Lampard; Willian, Eto'o, Salah
Norwich City's Projected Lineup (4-3-1-2): Ruddy; Olsson, Martin, Turner, Whittaker; Howson, Johnson, Fer; Snodgrass, Redmond, Hopper
