A hugely significant fixture in the capital tonight, sees Chelsea host league-leaders Manchester City in the final outing of Gameweek 15. The Dugout Discussion has swung it’s doors wide open, so come and and digest the emerging team news…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Bosingwa, Terry, Ivanovic, Cole, Romeu, Ramires, Meireles, Mata, Drogba, Sturridge.

Man City XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kompany, Lescott, Barry, Yaya Toure, Milner, Silva, Balotelli, Aguero.

The visitors line-up exactly as expected, with Mario Balotelli partnering Sergio Aguero upfront, and Pablo Zabaleta replaces the injured Micah Richards. It’s the home side who make a couple of changes from the game at Newcastle, with the free-roaming David Luiz banned and the once guaranteed-starter Frank Lampard dropped. Jose Bosingwa comes in, pushing Branislav Ivanovic infield, as does Raul Meireles, slotting into the midfield.

    Fantastic first and second touches by Balo for those goals, if he hadn't done so so quickly he'd have been tackled. You can't doubt his talent.

    Should I :
    1. keep VDV as he is home to Sunderland
    2. Do VDV -> Bale (SUN H)
    3. Do VDV -> Mata (WIGAN A)
    4. Do VDV -> Nani (QPR A)

    My other midfielders are Silva, Walters, Sinclair and Drenthe.
    Possible longterm plan is to do VDV -> Bale, Richards -> Shotton and Drenthe -> Mata/Nani

    I am going with the first choice to get 3 votes! So far choice 1 has 2 votes and choice 4 has 1 vote.

    1. Even though it wasnt a free kick suppirsed the ref didnt give it with Chelsea at home and Footie being a non contact sport these days.
