Chelsea v Norwich delayed due to problems with public transport ahead of FA Cup replay

CHELSEA'S FA Cup clash with Norwich has been delayed due to problems with public transport.

The club confirmed kick-off has been moved back by 15 minutes as fans struggle to make it to Stamford Bridge.

Just 40 minutes before the scheduled kick-off, the Blues tweeted: "For fans coming to tonight's game, there is currently no service on the District Line between South Kensington/Edgware Road and Parsons Green/Ealing Broadway and Richmond due to a faulty train at Earls Court."

Antonio Conte's side will face Newcastle in the fourth round if they manage to overcome the Canaries at the second attempt.

His Blues played out a 0-0 stalemate against their Championship foes at Carrow Road - one of four straight draws.

And after another dire performance against Leicester, Conte will be desperate to take this chance to get back to winning ways.
