Norwich City vs. Chelsea: Lineups

Because Oriol Romeu and Ramires haven't figured out that whole passing thing yet, while Frank Lampard is quite old at this point, the David Luiz in midfield experiment continues. He seems to pick it up a bit better each time he plays in a double pivot for Chelsea, so maybe Rafael Benitez is on to something. The other notable decision in Chelsea's lineup is the one to rest Eden Hazard. Victor Moses has been in good form since Benitez took over, so it's not a bad time for a break. Norwich's lineup is a conventional one with no surprises.

Norwich starting lineup (4-5-1): Mark Bunn; Russell Martin, Michael Turner, Sebastien Bassong, Javier Garrido; Robert Snodgrass, Alex Tettey, Bradley Johnson, Anthony Pilkington, Wes Hoolahan, Grant Holt

Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; Cesar Azpilicueta, Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole; John Obi Mikel, David Luiz; Victor Moses, Oscar, Juan Mata; Fernando Torres
