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.

    Sad seeing Torres in this kind of form, it really is.

    Glad Morison didn't score. A cocky twat at work has got him, and I've got Fletcher. COME ON FLETCHER.

      I don't think it has to do anything with form.
      It's like Arshavin, no good and will never be great again.

          He started the last game, even though it was away. Everton have a host of injuries. The signs were good. I'd back Drenthe at home to Blackburn more than Bale away to City all day long
