Wednesday Dugout Discussion

Gameweek 33 is wrapped up tonight with two Premier League games; Chelsea host Birmingham, whilst Arsenal and Tottenham face each other in the North London derby. As always there’s plenty at stake, and as always the Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business.

If you’re just getting in, here is all the team news…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Ferreira, David Luiz, Terry, Cole, Essien, Mikel, Lampard, Kalou, Drogba, Malouda

Birmingham XI: Foster, Carr, Johnson, Ridgewell, Parnaby, Larsson, Gardner, Ferguson, Fahey, Hleb, Jerome

So the headline news from the Bridge is that Chelsea leave their £50 million man on the pine in favour of Didier Drogba, and Paolo Ferreira replaces the injured Branislav Ivanovic.

Spurs XI: Gomes, Corluka, Gallas, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Huddlestone, Modric, Bale, Van der Vaart, Pavlyuchenko, Crouch

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Clichy, Song, Walcott, Fabregas, Diaby, Nasri, Van Persie

The home side go with two up-top in Peter Crouch and Roman Pavlyuchenko, meaning fantasy star Rafael Van der Vaart is pushed out to the wing. For the visitors, Arsene Wenger welcomes back Bacary Sagna and hands Jack Wilshere a well-earned rest.

    Fabs' 'ghost' assist for RVP's goal removed. Can't see anything for Walcott so I'm guessing no assist.

      He wont get the assist as RVP first shot was saved and he scored his own rebound.

        i dont have walcott but this is whats a bit messed up about fan man, obviously walcott assisted the goal but technically using fpl rules he didnt get it, which is silly.

      Great score mate. I'm on about 90. Thought I was nailed on for a hundred at least. Doubling up on chelsea defenders and not having drogba has cost me.

          Cheers mate. Could have been better if I had captained drogba but sure!! Although I didn't really make make much ground on mini rival. 6 or 7 points I think. About 25 points behind him now in second position.
