Gameweek 22 gets under way at Carrow Road, as Premier League new-boys host Andre Villas-Boas’ Chelsea. It’s the first of eight games today, concluding at the Reebok with Bolton Wanderers against Liverpool. The Dugout Discussion chatroom will be open throughout. The team news for the early game is in…

Norwich XI: Ruddy, Martin, Whitbread, Ayala, Naughton, Fox, Johnson, Pilkington, Surman, Morison, Holt.

Chelsea XI: Cech, Bosingwa, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Meireles, Lampard, Sturridge, Torres, Mata.

Grant Holt and David Fox come in for the high-flying Canaries, with Simeon Jackson and Wes Hoolahan making way.

There’s no debut for new signing Gary Cahill, who isn’t even on the bench, so David Luiz partners John Terry in the centre of defence once again.

With the other four of the top five facing off against each other in tomorrow’s truly Super Sunday, Chelsea have a lot to gain with a victory against in-form Norwich.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

    Raylor, Raylor Raylor. Whatever do I do with you? Youve been a mainstay, a lynchpin, but Mr Santon looks so much more appealing at the moment.

    In other news, Im currently quite glad I managed to avoid the Torresmobile. Not sure the Carrollsell is much more reliable though.

    1406: Another Chelsea chance and at least Juan Mata forces John Ruddy into a save this time, cutting in from the left and aiming for the bottom corner. Ruddy sticks out a big paw to turn it around the post, but I can't help thinking that if Juan Mata had been given that Fernando Torres opportunity, the Blues would now be 1-0 up.

    I think Chris Bevan has Torres in his FPL team.
