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.

            Gormdubh, I know I know but if Adam had scored that penalty and Terry didn't clear that off the line I was £800 richer. Good job when I make a bet I kiss the money goodbye, that way never truly gutted

        Ade would be a nailed-on 3 baps so with (C) and Bale's two it'd be more like 14 + 5. Then it's a simple matter of rounding up for IMPACT, mon amigo.

    Doesn't get much closer than this. PP Cup match up - take your pick....

    Me: 50 points, possible BPs for Nani
    Him: 49 points, possible BPs for Kun, Enrique(?), Bale(?)

    Don't stand much chance do I - if a draw I think I might sneak it on overall rank (despite having the same total points!!)
