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.
