Five Players You Should Pick In Your Fantasy Side :
1. Christian Pulisic: (Chelsea)
Christian Pulisic is certainly one of the best players of Chelsea after the lockdown period. The player has emerged to be an important player for the Blues at this moment. He has already scored eight goals in 22 matches in the Premier League so far. The American winger has created four big chances and assisted in two goals of Chelsea FC this season. The opponent defenders have faced a tough time to control his dribbling movements. So, Christian Pulisic will certainly be a player to watch out for in this match.
2. Willian: (Chelsea)
Willian has also been in good form for the Blues after the restart. The veteran Chelsea winger is also on set-piece duties for Chelsea. So, Willian is another good option for captaincy.
3. Olivier Giroud: (Chelsea)
Olivier Giroud will probably start at the upfront of the field for the Blues in this match. The French centre forward has also been there for the team when needed. Against the relegated Norwich side, Olivier Giroud is expected to score one or two goals. He can also be a really good option to cap in your fantasy side.
4. Cesar Azpilicueta: (Chelsea)
Chelsea has looked vulnerable at the back quite a few times in this season, but they are expected to keep a clean sheet in this match against Norwich City. Cesar Azpilicueta has provided quite a few assists too in this season for the Blues. So, you should consider Cesar Azpilicueta in your fantasy side for this match.
5. Todd Cantwell: (Norwich City)
Todd Cantwell has been rested in the previous match of Norwich City. He is expected to start this match for the Canaries. Todd Cantwell has shown promises throughout the whole season. He will certainly be up for the match to show his class once again to get a good team in the next season.
