Norwich City
Smith will be unable to call upon Norwich midfielder Billy Gilmour, who is unable to face his parent club, but the Scot is unlikely to be the only player to drop out of the first XI.
Sam Byram, Ben Gibson and one of Milot Rashica or Josh Sargent may only feature among the replacements, with academy graduate Jonathan Rowe potentially being provided with his first Premier League start.
Ozan Kabak will return to the backline if he recovers from injury, but Christoph Zimmermann may get the nod if no risks are taken on the Turkey international.
Norwich City possible starting lineup:
Krul; Aarons, Hanley, Zimmermann, Williams; Lees-Melou, Rupp; Sargent, Dowell, Rowe; Pukki
Chelsea
Despite returning to training, Chelsea Cesar Azpilicueta may not be risked for this contest, and the same could also apply to Marcos Alonso who has had coronavirus.
Tuchel may choose this fixture to take Reece James and Thiago Silva out of the starting lineup, and the same could also apply to N'Golo Kante and Havertz.
Andreas Christensen, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Jorginho and Romelu Lukaku may all be brought back into the team.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Mendy; Chalobah, Christensen, Rudiger; Hudson-Odoi, Kovacic, Jorginho, Saul; Mount, Pulisic; Lukaku
Prediction:Norwich City 0-2 Chelsea
