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.

            Well how much do you have in total? I know Yak is out for a while but he'd have been one of my main options. Fletcher for wolves could be a decent low priced forward. Zamora is who I have in my team right now, cheap and hopefully will become more potent over the next few weeks. If QPR start to do the damage then Helguson could be worth a look too! There, all of them are either equal to 6.6 or below.

          I enjoyed the Ranieri era, although it was fairly frustrating at times. Mourinho was amazing, but all too brief. Grant was more fun than I expected. Scolari, less said the better. Hiddink was so near so far. Carlo OK. AVB, too early to tell but mostly cr*p so far. But I think we all know that we're still essentially playing the Mourinho team, and they're too old. Team needs to be broken up and reconstituted, and thus this season probably best just to write off as transitionary. Have given up on the league.
          Happy still to be in the CL, never know what could happen in that.
