Gameweek 17 concludes tonight at White Hart Lane, as third in the league Tottenham Hotspurs play host to fourth placed Chelsea. For the last time before Christmas and for the third night running, the Dugout Discussion is here. The team news for the game is in, and is as follows…

Spurs XI: Friedel, Walker, Gallas, King, Assou-Ekotto, Modric, Parker, Sandro, Bale, Van der Vaart, Adebayor.

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

The home side have the fortune of being able to call upon the services of the injury-plagued Ledley King and Gareth Bale, who was rated as “very doubtful” by manager Harry Redknapp earlier this week. Emmanuel Adebayor also shakes off a slight foot injury to start upfront with Rafael Van der Vaart.

As the visitors, Andre Villas-Boas makes the bold (according to some media outlets) decision to name Frank Lampard and Fernando Torres amongst the Chelsea substitutes. Elsewhere, he’s boosted by the availability of the Brazilian Ramires, who returns to the side after missing the weekend’s game at Wigan.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom will be open for the entirety of tonight’s game, and can be accessed right here.

      Sooooo annoying. Jamie Redknapp does it too. You'd think that the producer would go "err no you spaz it's Bosingwa not Boswingwa".

    Comeon... need more goals.

    So long as Bale, Ade, Sturridge eat the BPs it won't be too bad, but 2-3 more goals from any of those 3 would be nice.
