Norwich fans look like mugs in foul-mouthed chant at Billy Gilmour

Gilmour facing a battle on and off the pitch
If I were a Norwich supporter this season - I'd probably be a ridiculously angry person too. Dead last in the Premier League with just eight goals scored across nineteen matches does not scream fun match going experience. When a team is this low, it's hard to pinpoint a single contributing factor - but that did not stop the fans at Selhurst Park from singling out Billy Gilmour.

Billy Gilmour joins Norwich City on season-long loan

Billy Gilmour signs for Norwich on loan
Norwich have won the battle to sign Billy Gilmour from Chelsea on a season-long loan.

The young midfielder was linked to a number of Premier League sides, including Newcastle and Wolves, but Daniel Farke managed to convince Thomas Tuchel and the Chelsea board that this would be the right move for their burgeoning midfield star.

Thomas Tuchel reveals plans to keep all of Chelsea's defensive midfielders happy

Thomas Tuchel insists he can keep all four of his DMs happy 
Thomas Tuchel has outlined his plans to re-build squad unity following Frank Lampard's departure. The German boss insists he will be able to keep his four defensive midfielders happy amid fierce competition for a place in Chelsea's starting lineup.

Since his arrival in the Premier League at Leicester, N'Golo Kante has widely been regarded as one of the best midfielders in Europe. However, he has struggled for minutes over the last 18 months with his time under Lampard marred by a number of injuries.

Chelsea 4-0 Everton: The one that Carlo Ancelotti returned

King Carlo + Super Frank
Back in 2016 Antonio Conte's side had started to pick up momentum in what ultimately would be a title-winning campaign. But it was the total domination of an Everton side in November of that season that had the rest of the league talking even leaving manager Ronald Koeman with nothing but praise after their demolition.

Not that Chelsea are in the midst of a title-run... but this match had the same buzz around Stamford Bridge. That this Chelsea side are on the cusp of something and things are finally falling into place for Frank Lampard.

Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool: The one cup game Jurgen Klopp attended

You. Shall. Not. Pass.
Frank Lampard edges closer to his first trophy as Chelsea manager with a big win on Tuesday night. After a questionable run of results to start the year, the Blues have seen off Liverpool to book a date at Leicester in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The boss made six changes to the team that limped to a 2-2 draw on Sunday. Personally I'm not usually a fan of that number of changes for a cup game but after the performance at the weekend it was obvious the team needed a shakeup.
