CHE Vs NOR Dream11 Team Predictions: The Sportsrush discussed its Dream 11 picks, as Norwich City faces Chelsea in the 3rd game-week.
Chelsea will face Norwich City in an away encounter, with Frank Lampard looking for his first Premier League win ever since he joined Chelsea as a manager.
The Blues had a rough start to the new campaign of the league. At first, they received a major beating of 4-0 against Manchester United on their first match, followed by a 1-1 draw with Leicester City.
The former English International is so far away from his fortune while preparing a clash with the newly-promoted side. Thus, Chelsea should give their all to secure their first three points of the season, as Norwich City are quite inexperienced in the top flight since a while.
However, the Canaries have not been so gentle, as they were expected to be, last week only they thrashed Newcastle United by 3-1. Even though they lost against Liverpool, the fans really appreciated their game-plan.
Further, Teemu Pukki is running riots in his debut season in the league. The Finnish striker has scored 4 goals in the last two matches, including a hat-trick against Newcastle.
With this, the Sportsrush decides its own 11 players to make our own Dream 11 team.

Norwich City Vs Chelsea
Formation: 3-5-2
Goalkeeper
Kepa Arrizabalaga: The Spanish goalkeeper is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the league and surely the superior one in comparison to his counterpart.
Defenders
Kurt Zouma: Zouma has been spectacular in the last two matches for the Blues, and a saving grace for the Blues since the UEFA Super Cup. Thus, the player can give you points with his daunting form.
Emerson Palmieri: The Italian defender has been starting ahead of Marcos Alonso, and have obtained the highest number of points from defence among the two sides. With observing things, Emerson probably start tonight, and his points tally is enough to consider his inclusion. If Marcos Alonso starts tonight, it is recommended to pick Alonso then.
Ben Godfrey: The young defender has been impressive for the Canaries, after giving a solid performance against Newcastle United. He is certainly the best defender in Norwich City lineup and can score in dead ball situations.
Midfielders
Pedro: If one has seen recent Chelsea’s performances, one would understand how crucial Pedro has been for the Blues in the recent matches, the Spanish forward has the ability to score multiple goals against Norwich City and hence shall be taken to achieve points.
Christian Pulisic: The young American winger has been impressive in the last two performances for the Blues, and shown his blistering pace can be effective for Chelsea. Pulisic will be a headache for the Canaries’ defence and can provide crucial points to the team. Thus, he is our vice-captain for this match.
Mason Mount: Mount has been a revelation at Chelsea, the young English midfielder has been phenomenal for the senior side. His impressive gameplay against Leicester City will probably land him another start. Whenever Mount has played, he has always made a significant impact for the Blues.
Marco Stiepermann: Stiepermann is a regular starter at the Canaries, and since he will be deputed behind Teemu Pukki, he can provide assists, if the Finnish International converts or probably he can score himself if he is fortunate enough.
Emiliano Buendia: Buendia will start from the right-wing for the Canaries, and have achieved around 9.5 points in the two matches for Dream 11. Surely, he is decisive with his game, and if he makes a decisive impact, he can once again land crucial points.
Forwards
Oliver Giroud: Considering the recent tactics by Frank Lampard, the English manager will start Oliver Giroud for the first 60-70 minutes surely. On the other hand, the French striker was the biggest threat to Leicester City in the previous match. He can certainly provide us with crucial points. If Tammy Abraham starts at his place, then you can opt Abraham.
Teemu Pukki: There should not be any doubts over Pukki’s inclusion. The Finnish striker is in the form of his life and have scored 4 goals in the two matches played so far, including a hattrick against Newcastle United. He is expected to add more goals to his tally and hence he is our captain tonight.
