Norwich City earn replay at Chelsea after FA Cup stalemate at Carrow Road

Well, that was awful. After making nine changes, Chelsea have failed to show up here; Norwich get a replay at Stamford Bridge where hopefully things will liven up a bit.

Full-time: Norwich City 0-0 Chelsea

What an effort from Zappacosta! Willian's corner pounces out to the Italian on the edge of the box and he lashes a sweet half volley across goal, but it veers just wide of Gunn's far post.

Three minutes of time added on here; Chelsea are pushing for what would be a sickening winner here, winning their second consecutive corner.

Tettey now picks up a booking, sticking out a leg to bring down Pedro after Oliveira carelessly gave the ball away with a backheel.

Last throw of the nice for Norwich, Nelson Oliveira is on for Murphy with about seven minutes of normal time left.

Murphy makes a clever run that is picked out by a raking long ball down the right. He initially does brilliantly to bring it under control and drift in between Luiz and Pedro but then he opts for an over-ambitious shot from outside the box that is hammered well wide.

Here's another Chelsea change, Charly Musonda is onto replace Kenedy.

Luiz takes it, smashing a dipping effort over the wall with his laces but it isn't dropping quickly enough to trouble Gunn and flies over the bar.

Chelsea work a nice move in the middle of the park that frees Bakayoko who threatens to drive into the box before he is brought down by Hanley. It's a free kick for the Blues with Luiz and Kenedy standing over this.

Antonio Conte has seen enough, Batshuayi is coming off and Alvaro Morata is onto replace him.

Zappacosta forces a corner kick up the other end now. Just under 20 minutes of this contest remaining.

Norwich have a free kick out on the right that Maddison whips into the box. Caballero comes out to punch but scuffs it straight into the path of Murphy, who has to take the shot on first time, directing it wide. Awful from Caballero, there.

Klose is at the back post to meet the delivery but he can't direct his header on target.

Almost an opening for Pritchard, who turns inside the box to take the shot on with his right, but Luiz makes a crucial block that takes it out for a corner kick.

Willian is beating people for fun at the moment. Trybull gives the ball away in the centre circle and tries to get back to stop the Brazilian but doesn't get close to him. He drifts past another challenge inside the box and hammers a shot on goal but it is straight at Gunn.

Willian is Chelsea's danger man by some distance at the moment. He picks up the ball about 30 yards out and drifts past a challenge from Zimmermann before drilling an effort towards the low corner. Bunn reacts well, however, getting down to push it away for a corner.

Bakayoko now tries his effort from range but his effort veers well wide of Bunn's post.

Willian does brilliantly down the right, flicking the ball inside his marker and sliding a pass back to Drinkwater who is free on the edge of the box. The former Leicester City midfielder hits a first time shot but it's a poor effort that is always heading wide.

Pedro zips a ball into Batshuayi who tries to turn into space inside the box, but he is quickly swamped by a posse of Norwich players who deny him any space. A deflected shot eventually rolls harmlessly into Bunn's path and he collects.

Kenedy whips a superb ball across goal from the left that reaches Zappacosta in the box. He nods it down into the path of Willian but Zimmermann gets in front of him in a nick of time to knock the ball clear.

And Chelsea get us back underway for the second-half.

Half-time: Norwich City 0-0 Chelsea

Two minutes of injury time added on.

Neat stuff from Maddison who drops a shoulder to easily scamper past Drinkwater on the edge of the box but gets underneath his shot, lifting it well over Caballero's cross bar.

Josh Murphy has probably been Norwich's brightest outlet so far; but neither goalkeeper has had to make a save yet.

That's better from Norwich, Pritchard produces a bit of magic to spin past Cahill and lift a dangerous ball across goal but Zappacosta does well to get it out for a corner at the far post.

Just a couple of minutes of this first-half remaining; it has been pretty tepid so far.

Luiz will be the first player booked this evening. He picks up a yellow after jumping in on Maddison.

This time it is Drinkwater who gives the ball away for Chelsea with Tryball playing a pass into Maddison on the edge of the D. He tries to jink around his man but looses his balance at the crucial moment and Chelsea can clear.

That's a great chance wasted by Norwich. Murphy nods a long ball over the top down to Maddison, who springs his teammate clear down the inside left channel. The Norwich forward beats Rudiger for pace as he cuts into the box but his effort from there isn't quite a cross and isn't quite a shot either, cutting something inbetween across goal and out of play.

Kenedy takes the resulting corner but it boots it straight out of play the other end.

Willian finds Kenedy on the edge of the box with the latter not confident enough to take the shot on first time with his right foot. He instead shifts onto his favoured left, giving Norwich enough time to close the shot down and force a corner.

Murphy comes at the Chelsea defence again, driving in from the left before trying to bend an ambitious effort into the far corner. His effort doesn't have the accuracy however and it isn't troubling Caballero.

Pritchard suddenly gets the ball in space down the inside right channel and drives at the Chelsea backline. He has options to his left and right but heads through the middle on his own, working the ball onto his left to take the shot on. He pulls the trigger, but Rudiger makes an important block and Chelsea.

That move was prompted by Luiz losing the ball upfield. Not a great few minutes for the Brazilian.

David Luiz almost caught out! Caballero gets the ball back and rolls a pass out to the Brazilian who decides to take a second too long on the ball with Murphy almost robbing him of the ball in the Chelsea box. The away side just about get away with it.

20 minutes in and Angus Gunn in the Norwich goal still hasn't had a save to make. Neither has Willy Caballero either, to be fair. It's all very quiet at the moment.

Murphy pounces on a loose ball and breaks down the inside left channel, leaving his marker in his dust. He breaks into the box with teammates streaming into the six yard area but he can't quite wrap his foot around the ball and lifts a cross straight into Caballero's arms.

Batshuayi has had a couple of loose touches so far, his hold-up play hasn't been up to scratch in these opening 15 minutes.

Luiz shows his worth coming out from the back, spreading a neat ball through for Pedro down the inside right. His attempt to cut inside is easily read however and Norwich win the ball back and mount forward themselves.

Pinto looks a bit groggy as he walks off the pitch but it looks like he will be allowed to come back on.

Ivan Pinto is left floored after Kenedy comes crashing through him in the air, taking out the Norwich man completely. It's the Brazilian's shoulder that has caused the damage, not an elbow, but Norwich's medical team is now on the pitch to tend to the stricken full-back.

Bakayoko gives the ball away and it allows Maddison to race onto it and swerve towards the Chelsea goal with menace. He lets fly with a low effort from just inside the box but Rudiger makes the block before Caballero is called into action.

Kenedy has the game's first effort on goal, a rather ambitious effort from at least 30 yards out that he drags well wide of Gunn's post.

And Norwich get us underway.

Almost ready for kick-off at Carrow Road...

And on David Luiz?

This is a good chance for him after bad injury, after long period to recover. He has a good chance today to start the game and I hope for him and the team to have a good performance.

Antonio Conte has been speaking to BT Sport ahead of kick-off. On his decision to make nine changes to his starting XI, he said:

We are doing this for a long time to try to make rotations in every game because when u play every two or three days its difficult to recover, there is the risk t have injuries. I think its right to give good chances to everyone.

Are David Luiz's days at Chelsea numbered? Antonio Conte has indicated the only way the Brazil international will be able to leave the club this month is if a replacement is brought in.

This evening's match at Carrow Road is our last fixture of the day. After Fleetwood Town held Leicester City to a goalless draw, a host of 3pm kick-offs have just wrapped up. Here's how things finished.

Middlesbrough 2-0 Sunderland
Aston Villa 1-3 Peterborough United
Birmingham City 1-0 Burton Albion
Blackburn Rovers 0-1 Hull City
Bolton 1-2 Huddersfield Town
Bournemouth 2-2 Wigan
Brentford 0-1 Notts County
Cardiff 0-0 Mansfield Town
Carlisle 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Coventry 2-1 Stoke City
Doncaster Rovers 0-1 Rochdale

As mentioned, plenty of youth on the bench for Chelsea this evening. 17-year-old Ethan Ampadu, who started twice in the Carabao Cup this term, is among them along with Under-17 World Cup winner Callum Hudson-Odoi, who is hoping to make his senior debut tonight. 18-year-old Dujon Sterling is also among the subs.

Antonio Conte makes nine changes in all to the side that drew with Arsenal on Wednesday with Gary Cahill and Tiemoue Bakayoko the only ones to keep their places. As expected, there are starts for Willy Caballero in goal and Michy Batshuayi up front, with Kenedy and Zappacosta coming in on the left and right respectively.

There is plenty of youth on the bench including 17-year-old Ethan Ampadu with Charly Musonda fit again after his recent injury.

Chelsea team to face Norwich: Caballero, Rudiger, Luiz, Cahill, Zappacosta, Drinkwater, Bakayoko, Kenedy, Willian, Pedro, Batshuayi

Subs: Eduardo, Apadu, Clarke-Salter, Sterling, Musonda, Hudson-Odoi, Morata

BREAKING: As expected, David Luiz returns to the Chelsea starting XI.

Here's the Norwich team...

As expected, David Luiz is in the house.

Chelsea sealed their first January transfer on Friday night; completing a deal to sign Ross Barkley from Everton for a reported fee of £15m. There is no chance of seeing him in action this evening however having not been registered in time.

Having just come back from a long-term injury, it may be a few weeks before he is up to speed, anyway.

He might have been rested anyway with Arsenal coming to Stamford Bridge midweek but Eden Hazard is unlikely to be risked this evening. The Belgium international was subbed in the second half of last Wednesday's league meeting with the Gunners with Antonio Conte revealing on Friday his forward has a slight calf problem.

Antonio Conte used the Carabao Cup to rotate his squad during the first-half of the season with the likes of Willy Caballero, Ethan Ampadu, Charly Musonda and Michy Batshuayi drafted in for those matches. The Blues boss has hinted he will be doing the same this afternoon, with a League Cup clash with Arsenal awaiting his side midweek.

When you play every three days, especially after the Christmas period, you have to make many rotations,' said the Italian. My idea is to continue like in the past because I trust and believe in my players but, for sure, we want to try to go through to the next round.

David Luiz is set to play for only the second time since October this afternoon. The Brazil international is fit again after a knee problem and with Andreas Christensen now ahead of him in the Blues pecking order, he will come in with Antonio Conte likely to rest a handful of his first-team players against Norwich.
