Norwich v Chelsea FA Cup Betting Tips
It has been a season of disappointments for Norwich, and most of their issues has been down to a lack of goals. Only three teams have scored fewer goals in the Championship than they have this term. So without the goal behind them, they are going to struggle and their home form doesn’t really hint at them being able to pull off a win in this one. They have collected only the two victories in their last ten games at Carrow Road, but as a positive, those wins did both come inside their last three home fixtures. Norwich have not claimed a clean sheet in any of their last five at home and they are naturally going to be coming under some pressure in this game. Only twice in their last ten games at Carrow Road have Norwich managed more than one goal in a game. Under 2.5 goals at Coral is up at a price of 6/5. The last time that Norwich and Chelsea faced off was in the 2015/16 and Chelsea won both games on that occasion and they are unbeaten in their last fifteen matches against Norwich in all competitions.
The last FA Cup meeting between the two clubs was in 2007 and Chelsea collected and easy 4-0 home win on that occasion. They have won each of their last three trips to Carrow Road, conceding just the one goal in their last four there. Chelsea to win to nil at Coral has to be a decent proposition for the game. The Blues will probably take a chance to rest some players as they have the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final against Arsenal coming up in midweek. But they are just strong and confident at the moment and are undefeated in their last seven in all competitions (W5 D2). Surprisingly though Chelsea have collected only the one away win in their last five on the road (D3 L1) but they were full of attacking intent in a 2-2 league draw at Arsenal in midweek. In the correct score market Chelsea 2-0 option is at 13/2 and heading anytime goalscorer market are Alvaro Morata at 4/5 and Michy Batshuayi at 5/6.

Norwich v Chelsea FA Cup Predictions
Norwich are going to find Chelsea too much to handle most likely and even if the Premier League turns up without their main starting eleven, a 2-0 correct score on them still looks plenty of value to roll with.
