Put up your feet, pour yourself another glass of mulled wine and grab that tin of Quality Street. After all it is christmas, and after all we’ve got another match to take in as we round out gameweek nineteen just as soon as it starts.

The Dugout Discussion closes it’s door for no-one and a festive game between Arsenal and Chelsea are no exception. Just nineteen weeks down and Arsene Wenger finally gets to start his two key players – Cesc Fabregas & Robin Van Persie – together for the first time this season, while the likes of Walcott finally get a start after weeks waiting patiently on the bench. Managerial heavyweight Carlo Ancelotti meanwhile gets to start Frank Lampard for the first time since August also. Team sheets in full are…

Arsenal: Fabianski; Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy; Song, Fabregas, Wilshere; Walcott, van Persie, Nasri

Chelsea: Cech; Ferreira, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole; Essien, Mikel, Lampard; Kalou, Drogba, Malouda

Come join the festive banter as we all gorge on treats ahoy together and close out the gameweek in the Dugout Discussion.

    Captain Tevez, Torres or VdV?

    City are shitty at home.
    Torres is not at his best form but L'pool have won 4 last home games and are fresh after not playing on boxing day.
    Vdv not likely to play full 90 mins...

    Tough choice I must say..!!

    vidic baines kolorov konchesky samba
    nani nasri bale (1.ethers, 3.diame)

    thinking of doing samba > foley(for funds) and bale > VDV(C), then i would put foley on the bench and start ethers.

      maybe try and gradually move some £££ from deff to attack (tevez/torres)

    Need a bit of a help…

    Robinson/(Gilks)
    Kolarov/Evra/Konchesky/(Dunn/Jara)
    Nani/VDV(c)/NZogbia/Bale/(Fabregas)
    Rooney/Odemwingie/(Elmander)

    Now i got a big problem since Fabs got his 5th yellow 🙁 Alrdy used the sub to get VDV instead of Kuyt, so was thinking of a -4/-8 hit, lets say Robinson > Gordon only might be a smart move not going more than -4… Welbeck/Gyan maybe for Elmander?
