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.

        Not negative as such, but clueless and crap yes. Apart from Torres miss from 6 yards, I can't really think of any other times when they should have scored, rather than could have scored. Lots of possesion, little cutting edge. Sturridge was very poor.

            Which manager bought who is irrelevant though, the point is chelsea think the way out of trouble is to sack a manager and spend £100m. Hasn't worked out over the last two years has it.

              Wrong. There has been a fault with the manager. Ancelotti was far too short-term in his plans, that didn't go well with Roman. Btw if AVB was to be sacked, don't you think he'd be out by now? Clearly, this is a transitional phase, that requires proper phasing out of the Mourinho-era players. AVB's done a decent job at that - by bringing Mata, Studge, Ramires & Romeu to the fore. We still need a creative midfielder/winger, so to help Mata out.
