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.

          I think I might have it by 1, but I think it might be a draw too. If that's the case, we're same points and same transfers.

              Aguero is a lock for 3. Whether Nani gets 2 or 3 could be crucial. Unforts for me I think Bale will def get something from this game....

                  I can't see how I can win this, other than a Bale/Ramires 2nd yellow or red. Best case for me is a draw and somehow me getting the nod. Not sure why but looks like I have a better overall rank before this GW?
