Frank Lampard has rung the changes for Chelsea following their 3-0 defeat at Sheffield United, but it’s mostly good news for Fantasy Premier League managers.

Despite making five alterations to the previous line-up, the Chelsea boss has found a place for Willian (£7.4m) and Christian Pulisic (£7.3m) once again.

The pair have scored 48 and 39 points respectively since the restart and get the chance to extend that impressive run of points from the flanks of the front-three against Norwich.

This time, they are joined there by Olivier Giroud (£6.7m), the former Arsenal man reclaiming his spot from Tammy Abraham (£7.4m), who drops to the bench.

There will be plenty of attention on the Frenchman tonight too, who has four goals in his last five Premier League starts.

The inclusion of Jorginho (£4.9m) for the second match in a row might be troubling to owners of Willian as the Italian has previously taken penalties for the club, but the Brazilian has, of course, scored three since the Premier League returned.

Meanwhile, Lampard has also made changes in defence, handing a first start since Gameweek 32+ to Marcos Alonso (£6.1m) in the place of Reece James (£4.9m) and Antonio Rüdiger (£5.9m) comes in for Andreas Christensen (£4.8m) at centre-back.

Those invested in the Chelsea defence will be encouraged a little by Norwich’s line-up.

The Canaries have scored just once in the Project Restart fixtures and come to Stamford Bridge with this season’s top-scorer Teemu Pukki (£6.4m) on the bench.

Josip Drmic (£5.3m) has been chosen to lead the line with Todd Cantwell (£4.5m), Lukas Rupp (£4.4m) and Onel Hernández (£5.3m) chosen to support from attacking midfield.

That means a place on the bench for Emi Buendía (£6.0m) alongside Pukki.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Alonso, Rüdiger, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Kovacic; Pulisic, Giroud, Willian.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Lewis, Klose, Godfrey, Aarons; Tettey, McLean; Hernández, Rupp, Cantwell; Drmic.

    Lol, giroud is one of those players that always annoyingly scores against your team but looks like a league 2 striker when you captain him

    1. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 12 days ago

      He is a league 2 striker. Anyone can score an odd goal. Don't mean they are good.

      Having a mare with Chelsea this season. Brought in Tammy on WC only played him when he didn’t score, switched to giroud C no doubt Tammy will now score off the bench...captained Tammy 3 times earlier in the season, all fails. Lol

    TV producer likes showing Cantwell's hair. It is the most exciting thing in the game so far. Shame it's a bloke.

    If Sterling starts tomorrow is Sterling to Mahrez good move?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years

      no

  17. Brosstan

    VAR to send off Pulisic. Reckless, accident or not

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 12 days ago

      United would have had a pen for it.

  18. DandyDon

    Puli dead legging the Norwich defence. Good work

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 12 days ago

    Only 30 or so left for Giroud.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years

      My rival has Tammy so hope not

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 12 days ago

      nah, he'll stay on

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Pulisic standing on the ball there sums this up

  21. FPL_Devil

    A little early but... Feeling uneasy on Chelsea triple up. Giroud can’t shoot. Pulisic no touches. Alonso the only one looking decent.

  22. x.jim.x

    Giroud couldn’t finish his champignons, the clown.

    1. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not mushroom for error now for him you'd think?

  23. JJO
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 12 days ago

    Why do you play 3 defensive mids against Norwich at home??

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 12 days ago

      They are so bad in defence.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 12 days ago

      Dont think RLC and Kovacic are defensive mids....

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 12 days ago

        They certainly are not offensive

    3. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 days ago

      Should sacrifice one for Tammy

  24. el polako

    Its going to be a klose call fpr physio.
