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.

    A draw at Norwich is not a bad result at the moment

      It is if you're a pretender for the crown, or even top-four. Norwich are punching well above their weight, and Chelsea are simply shit.

      You're right, for a top 4 team it's an awful result.
