Chelsea are still seeking their first competitive win under Frank Lampard. Can they get it at the expense of ambitious side Norwich City?

Preview: Norwich City vs Chelsea

Norwich earned their first Premier League win since being promoted last round and now they will be looking to end their frustrating hoodoo against Chelsea as they host the Blues on Saturday. To date, the hosts haven't beaten the Blues since a 3-0 victory in December 1994, and since then, they've gone ten Premier League games sans a win. That frustrating run extends to 15 if one includes all competitions and they will be hoping to take advantage of a Chelsea team still struggling to find their identity under new manager Frank Lampard.

The Blues icon has yet to pick up his first competitive win since taking over and he'll be hoping to avoid becoming the first manager since Gianluca Vialli to fail to win his first three Premier League games in charge. Lampard comes into this game with just one point so far after losing 4-0 to Manchester United on matchday one and struggling to a one-all draw with Leicester City. Due to a frustrating transfer ban slapped on the team, the London giants are now forced to field a whole crop of youth players, which doesn't bode well for their ability to really compete at full force on all three fronts this season.

Still, Chelsea will hope that their strong historic record against Norwich will be enough to see them through on Saturday - although Norwich will be really determined to cause the visitors as many problems as possible. Who will come out on top in the second match of matchday three?
